Census Interactive Resource
The 2021 census will be the 22nd time that a census will be taken in the UK. Regular censuses have been taken every 10 years since 1801 (except in 1941 due to the Second World War). But what can we learn from looking at them?
This resource aims to explore what we can learn from this valuable resource in addition to exploring why we still take censuses today.
