5 Marital Status

The ‘Marital Status’ table (UV07) classifies all people (i.e. from babies upwards) according to their marital status. To create the following table it has been assumed that all people aged under 16 would be in the “single – never married” category. All people under 16 years of age have been deducted from the original “single – never married” figures on the marital status to estimated figures on the marital status of people aged 16 or over.

Classification of household deprivation

The classification of household deprivation on the Census is independent of the English Indices of Multiple Deprivation published by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister. Four dimensions from the Census returns have been identified as giving an indication of household deprivation. Households are considered deprived if one or more of the following definitions applies to that household:

Employment – any member of the household aged 16-74 who is not a full-time student is classified as either unemployed or permanently sick. Education – no member of the household aged 16 to pensionable age has at least 5 GCSE’s (grade A to C) or equivalent AND no member of the household aged 16 to 18 is in full-time education. Health and disability – any member of the household has general health ‘not good’ in the year before the census or has a limiting long term illness. Housing – The household’s accommodation is either overcrowded, or is in a shared dwelling, or does not have sole use of bath/shower and toilet, or has no central heating.

Health and provision of unpaid care

There were two measure of ‘health’ on the Census. In one measure respondents were asked to rate their general level of health over the last twelve months as ‘good’, ‘fairly good’ or ‘not good’. The other measure was to ask respondents whether they (in their opinion) had a limiting long-term

9 illness (LLTI). LLTI covers any long-term illness, health problem or disability that limits daily activities or the work a person can do.

25 Further information:

All the information in this document, except the tables on “Access to Services”, has been calculated from the 2001 Census Univariate Tables for Census Output Areas published by the Office of National Statistics (http://www.statistics.gov.uk). Further information about the Census is available at: http://www.statistics.gov.uk/census2001/default.asp

There are slight differences (e.g. in total population) between tables because of imputation for non- response and disclosure issues when using Output Area data. Overall the 2001 Census achieved a 98% response rate. For further information on the quality of data at Local Authority level please see: http://www.statistics.gov.uk/census2001/la.asp

Each Output Area in England and Wales has been classified using the harmonised urban / rural definition published by the ONS on 2nd August 2004 in Bulletin 2004/14 (http://www.statistics.gov.uk/geography/bulletins/bulletin2004_14.asp). The Output Area urban/rural data was then aggregated to provide the urban / rural totals for the Local Authority, Government Office Regions and England. More information about the urban / rural definition is available at: http://www.statistics.gov.uk/geography/nrudp.asp

The “Access to Services” information comes from the Countryside Agency.
