FOI REF: FOI/2023/1173

You asked

I would like to know the population of girls living in each of the following Surrey Heath wards according to the 2021 census and, where it is available, 2023 data. I would like you to provide the ward specific information for St Michaels, Town, Old Dean, St Pauls, Watchetts, Parkside, Frimley, Heatherside, Frimley Green, Mythchett and Deepcut, Lightwater and Bagshot. It would be most helpful to have the information broken down by year group.

We said

Thank you for your freedom of information request. 

Please see the associated download, named 'Surrey Heath wards population of girls by age'. This provides 2021 Census dataset showing females aged 0-18 for all wards in Surrey Heath Local Authority.

The dataset was downloaded from our 'Create a custom dataset' function, which enables users to find and download multiple combinations of data they are most interested in.

However, not all Census data can be accessed through 'Create a custom dataset' tool. Some characteristics are unavailable or have to be grouped together to avoid the risk of people being identified.  The security and confidentiality of the information people entrust to us is always at the forefront of our work.

The instructions on how to use the tool are in the associated download names 'ONS - Create a Custom Dataset Navigation', should you wish to download further combinations of data. Alternatively, our census.customerservices@ons.gov.uk would be able to advise.
