Help us shape our new Census platform

The UK Data Service needs your help! We make UK census aggregate data freely accessible to a wide range of users, uniquely offering both historical census data through from 1971 to 2011, and harmonised UK data for the 2001 and 2011 censuses.

As we approach initial releases of 2021 census data, which we will make available later this year, we are currently developing a new platform and that’s where you come in. To make sure our new platform is as accessible and easy-to-use as possible, we want to talk with people who may have accessed census data in the past (no matter what your level of experience is) or who may want to download census data in the future.

If you can give us 45-60 minutes of your time in an online conversation to help us understand how you might use our new platform, we will give you a £25 Amazon voucher as a thank you.
