2022 Census

2022 Census

The 2021 census in Scotland was moved to 20 March 2022 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The census in England, Wales and Northern Ireland will still be held in 2021.

We are working hard to plan and deliver the census in early 2022. You can find out more about this work at the Scotland’s Census website.
