Microdata teaching file

The microdata teaching file contains 1% of the person records from the 2011 Census in Northern Ireland, and was created for training students.

Overview

It is considerably less detailed than the file made available under end-user licence in 2001. It constitutes a 'taster' file, of particular use in teaching and is freely available for anyone to download under the terms of the Open Government Licence
