Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Census 2021 Release

Sexual orientation and Gender Identity Census 2021 Release

Today, Tuesday 4 April, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has published the next phase of Census 2021 data on sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI).

These pre-built flexible datasets allow users to choose and change the area type and coverage of SOGI data, and combine with other variables. This information comes from two new, voluntary questions on Census 2021 for people aged 16 and over. The questions were introduced to fill an evidence gap users identified and which, they told the ONS, would help them better shape public services. 

The datasets can be accessed here.
