ONS LS announces Census 2011 data linkage
The 2011 Census data has been linked in to the ONS LS and Beta Testing is almost complete. Subject to a successful finish, it is likely that the new dataset will be available to researchers from 25th November.
A provisional, revised, Data Dictionary is available for download in zipped form. (Microsoft Access required)
Researchers wishing to use 2011 Census data in an active ONS LS project:
You will need to complete a new Customer Request Form but the content can be very similar to your previous application – just add indications of the purpose and extent of your use of 2011 Census data. You do not need to re-apply for Approved Researcher status for this project.
The revised Data Dictionary and Customer Request From are available from: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/celsius.

You are advised to read How to use the LS and the Step by Step Guide sections of the CeLSIUS website which will guide you through the application procedure.
