The census is a survey that happens every 10 years and gives us a picture of all the people and households in England and Wales. The next census takes place on Sunday 21 March 2021.

Every household should have received a letter with a code and are asked to fill the census in online. People can also request a paper questionnaire if they’d prefer to complete the census that way.

The door to door census operation will begin only after Census Day, contacting those who have not responded. Field staff will never need to enter people’s houses. Results will be available in 12 months, although personal records will be locked away for 100 years, kept safe for future generations.
