Census data users: we want to hear from you

Every dataset tells a story – but it is the people who use census data who bring those stories to life.

Whether you are mapping inequality, analysing housing trends, exploring health outcomes, or tracing how communities change over time… We want to hear from you.

We are inviting you to take part in a short survey to help us better understand how you use census data through our platform, what works well, and where we could do better. Your feedback will directly inform how we improve access, design support, and ensure the data continues to serve the needs of our users.

The UK Data Service has supported access to census data for many years. Now we need your input to help shape what comes next. Completing the survey will automatically enter you in a draw for a £25 Amazon voucher.

We also invite you to sign up for a longer meeting with one of the team to discuss your questions and comments with an additional thank you voucher from us – more information in the survey link.

Just three questions to help us understand you better and further develop our census offerings.
