The Origin-Destination statistics: Wards contains data for the flows of migrants and the daily flows of workers from residence to workplace, provided as matrices, for all wards of origin to all wards of destination. There are counts of every area to area flow in the UK (each cell in the matrix), with breakdowns of the characteristics of the people in the flow.
The matrices are available on CD. They are large files and analysis requires the use of specialist software, which is not supplied with the product, but which is available from intermediary organisations (for more information contact Census Customer Services).
The Origin-Destination statistics tables
The Origin-Destination statistics consist of matrices of all areas of origin to all areas of destination at a specific geographical level. These are Output Areas, wards and local authorities with boundaries as at 31 December 2002.
Release date: 15 July 2004
Media, availability and cost:
Online
A subset of these tables, providing travel to work flows at local authority level, can be viewed and downloaded free of charge from the Nomis website.
Electronic
A CD containing ward level matrices in CSV format on request free from Census Customer Services using the ordering information box to the top right of this page.
Product notes:
The wards in the matrices for England and Wales and in Northern Ireland are those for which Census Area Statistics (CAS) were released, and in Scotland those for which Standard Tables were released, so the flows for a limited number of small wards are amalgamated.
