The 2011 Census took place on March 27th
Every ten years a census takes a numerical snapshot on a single date to gain an accurate picture of the population. The census statistics that ONS produces help Nottinghamshire County Council to correctly target funding and public services, such as education, transport, social services, schools and housing, where needed. The information provided by the 2011 Census will help shape our community for years to come.
All personal information is protected by law and will be kept confidential for 100 years.
