A nationwide
UK census
.
Census 1991 was organised by the
Census Office for Northern Ireland.[1] Detailed results by region, council area, ward and output area are available from their respective websites. The cost of the census was estimated at £140m,[2] or around £7 per household. 117,500 enumerators were employed to assist with collection of census forms in Great Britain.[3]
The 1991 census was the first UK census to have a question on
outside toilets.[3]
The census was also noted for a significant undercount of the population. Despite being compulsory, a total of 572,000 people failed to respond to both the census form and follow-up interviews, 220,000 of them being males aged 20 to 29. It has been suggested that part of the lack of response could be due to people attempting to avoid registration for the poll tax.[10]
A total of 342 people were prosecuted for not completing their census returns.[11]
