The Teaching File is a sample of data from the 2011 Census and represents an ideal resource for training and research. In particular, it offers opportunities not available from the standard 2011 Census statistical bulletins:

  • Custom variable combinations - Users can create their own tables based on whichever variables they choose.

  • More detailed analysis - Variables can be examined in more detail than is available from the standard release tables.

  • Statistical analysis - Person-level data provide additional potential for statistical analysis not possible with aggregate data.
