Is it possible that the 2021 dependent children by bedrooms spreadsheet age categories can be shifted slightly such that they are 0 – 4, 5 – 11, 12 – 16, 17-18 years of age?

We said

Thank you for your freedom of information request. 

The dataset provided previously was created using the Create a Custom Dataset tool. The tool enables users to make their own datasets combining variables from census data. 

This flexible table builder provides automatic protection of individual identities in detailed statistics, making sure that no individual can be picked out in the tables. 

However, our commitment to protecting the confidentiality of Census data means that we can't provide the full detail of the Census through this tool. 

As the age groups you require are not available in the ready-made multivariate datasets or using the create a custom dataset tool, you may be able to commission a table to your own specifications. 

On receipt of your completed order form, you will be added to the waiting list. Please note that any table commissioned will have to pass our strict statistical disclosure control process to ensure there is no risk of disclosure of personal information in the table. More information on this process is available here: Protecting personal data in Census 2021 results - Office for National Statistics (ons.gov.uk) Please see the linked webpage to download a copy of the order form which details the scale of charges for this service.
