The Key Statistics series provides summary figures covering the full range of topics from the census. These figures are available from national level down to the very small census output areas.

The Quick Statistics series generally provides information about a single census topic. The classifications used are usually the full versions with the most categories so provide the most detailed information available from the census about the topic. Like the Key Statistics, these tables are available from national level down to the very small census output areas.

The Local Characteristics series cross tabulates two or more topics. Tables in the local characteristics family of tables have a minimum population threshold (size) of 100 persons and 40 households. This means that they can be produced for output areas (OAs) and higher geographies. They provide the most detailed results possible for OAs.

The Detailed Characteristics series cross tabulates two or more topics. The combination of topics and number of categories provide the most detail possible whilst maintaining the confidentiality of personal information.

            The tables in the initial release are generally available from national down to local authority level. In a future update they will be provided down to ward and middle layer super output area (MSOA) level. A small number of tables that use detailed classifications are only published at regional and national level.

Origin-destination data (also known as flow data) will include the travel-to-work and migration patterns of individuals, cross-tabulated by variables of interest (for example occupation). New products for the 2011 Census will also provide the migration patterns of those living at a student address one year ago and provide information on individuals with second residences.

People who work mainly at or from home or do not have a fixed place of work are included in their area of their usual residence. The following population groups are excluded from the workplace population of an area:

• Those living in England and Wales but working in Scotland, Northern Ireland, outside the UK or on offshore installations,
• Those with a place of work in England and Wales but who are not usually resident in England and Wales, and
• Short-term residents
