The Detailed Characteristics family of tables are available for wards, middle layer super output areas (MSOA) and higher geographies. Similar to Local Characteristics tables, these contain two or more census variables, such as age and sex, but provide considerably more detail than their local equivalents, as the larger population means the risk of disclosure of personal information is lower.
