About this dataset
This dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify schoolchildren and full-time students aged 5 years and over in England and Wales by student accommodation and by age. The estimates are as at Census Day, 21 March 2021.
Protecting personal data
Sometimes we need to make changes to data if it is possible to identify individuals. This is known as statistical disclosure control. In Census 2021, we:
- Swapped records (targeted record swapping), for example, if a household was likely to be identified in datasets because it has unusual characteristics, we swapped the record with a similar one from a nearby small area. Very unusual households could be swapped with one in a nearby local authority.
- Added small changes to some counts (cell key perturbation), for example, we might change a count of four to a three or a five. This might make small differences between tables depending on how the data are broken down when we applied perturbation.

About the variables
Age (8 categories)
Description: A person's age on Census Day, 21 March 2021 in England and Wales.
Quality information: Estimates for single year of age between ages 90 and 100+ are less reliable than other ages. Estimation and adjustment at these ages was based on the age range 90+ rather than five-year age bands.
Comparability with 2011: Highly comparable

Description: Combines the living situation of students and school children in full-time education, whether they are living: * alone * in a student household * with parents * in a communal establishment, split by university and other communal establishment type * in other household types
It also includes whether these households contain one or multiple families. This variable is comparable with the student accommodation variable but splits the communal establishment type into "university and "other" categories.
Comparability with 2011: Highly comparable
