Get ready for the Census 2021 on Sunday 21 of March
Census 2021
Census 2021: Help your community
Households across Southwark will soon be asked to take part in the nationwide survey of housing and the population. It has been carried out every decade since 1801, with the exception of 1941.
Information from the digital-first census will help decide how services are planned and funded in your local area. This could mean things like doctors’ surgeries, housing or new bus routes.
Households will receive a letter with a unique access code in the post, allowing them to complete their questionnaire online. Paper questionnaires will be available on request. Census day is March 21.
The importance of the census in 2021
The census gives us information about households across England and Wales.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) have used past census information to help to understand how the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has affected people in different ways.
Census 2021 will give us fresh information to improve our understanding of the pandemic. It will also help to make sure that the services you use meet the needs of our changing society. This could include hospitals, schools, universities and job centres.
Census Day is Sunday 21 March 2021 and will continue to happen on that date.
