Census
The census is managed by the Office for National Statistics.
It happens every 10 years and gives us a picture of all the people and households in England and Wales.
The last census was held in 2021.
We use the data from the census to help decide how services are planned and funded in your local area.
You can see the results of the census on the ONS website.
Newport community profiles
We also have our Newport community profiles.
They give us local information about Newport's people and communities.
These can be viewed on the Newport Atlas website.
