Census 2021 Travel To Work - Distance Travelled to Work - TS058

Office for National Statistics' national and subnational Census 2021. This dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify usual residents aged 16 years and over in employment the week before the census in England and Wales by the distance they travelled to work. The estimates are as at Census Day, 21 March 2021. Census 2021 took place during a period of rapid change. We gave extra guidance to help people on furlough answer the census questions about work. However, we are unable to determine how furloughed people followed the guidance. Take care when using this data for planning purposes. Read more about specific quality considerations in our Labour market quality information for [Census 2021 methodology ] Distance travelled to work definition: The distance, in kilometres, between a person's residential postcode and their workplace postcode measured in a straight line. A distance travelled of 0.1km indicates that the workplace postcode is the same as the residential postcode. Distances over 1200km are treated as invalid, and an imputed or estimated value is added. Work mainly at or from home: is made up of those that ticked either the 'Mainly work at or from home' box for the address of workplace question, or the Work mainly at or from home box for the method of travel to work question. Other: includes no fixed place of work, working on an offshore installation and working outside of the UK. Distance is calculated as the straight line distance between the enumeration postcode and the workplace postcode. Quality information: As Census 2021 was during a unique period of rapid change, take care when using this data for planning purposes. Comparability with 2011: Not comparable. It is difficult to compare this variable with the 2011 Census because Census 2021 took place during a national lockdown. The government advice at the time was for people to work from home (if they can) and avoid public transport. Only those who work at a workplace or depot gave their workplace address. This means that the number of people who answered this question is a significantly smaller proportion of the population than normal. People who were on furlough (about 5.6 million), could have given details based on their patterns before or during the pandemic, or what they did during the census taking place, including Census Day.
