Objectives
• Understand the variety of social entities in which we may be interested
• Recognise the key data sources and their characteristics
• Understand the processes by which these data sources are processed to create data outputs

Social data entities
• What is the elemental information unit in which we are interested?– Neighbourhood (definitional issues)– Dwelling unit– Household– Person– Event (e.g. birth, death, hospital admission,
etc.)

GEOG3025
Administrative records
• Population registers (esp. Scandinavia)• Registers maintained for the purposes of
delivering a service– Driven by specific organisational needs
• Few attribute details unless maintained as statistical register, but timely
• Aggregated for output, but not at source
![Page 7: GEOG3025 Census and administrative data 1: Sources and methods](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649efc5503460f94c0f445/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
GEOG3025
Population censuses
• Aggregate data but available for small areas
• High coverage rates but limitations of census questions (health, income, etc.)
• Cross-tabulated to full range of socioeconomic characteristics
• Infrequent (decennial) • Multiple data outputs
![Page 8: GEOG3025 Census and administrative data 1: Sources and methods](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649efc5503460f94c0f445/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
GEOG3025
Social survey data
• Even largest surveys cover only small proportion of population– Sampling error and small number problems
• Advantage of timeliness• Geographical coverage difficulties• Potentially high levels of attribute
detail and cross-tabulation possible
![Page 9: GEOG3025 Census and administrative data 1: Sources and methods](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649efc5503460f94c0f445/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
GEOG3025
Introductory questions…
What do we mean by ‘administrative’ data?
How do the census questionnaire responses become data?
Are the data
reliable anyway?

Administrative sources• Population register (Netherlands,
Denmark, etc.)• National health service register (NHSCR)• Electoral register• Council tax register• Hospital episodes system (HES)• Inland revenue database• Customer databases (loyalty cards, etc.)

Neighbourhood Statistics
• Government departments contributing datasets derived from administrative records
• Aggregating initially to 1998 wards, soon to be super output areas (SOAs)
• Varying levels of SOA reflect sensitivity of different administrative datasets

The 2001 census process…• Address pre-listing• Enumeration• Census 29 April 2001• Collection of forms• Scanning of forms and
creation of database• Census Coverage Survey• One Number Census
processing• Output creation

Census Coverage Survey
• Recognition of inevitable undercount
• Coverage survey of 300,000 households 4-8 weeks after census
• Intensive enumeration with no address pre-listing
• Stratified sample of postcodes – by LAD and hard-to-count index
![Page 21: GEOG3025 Census and administrative data 1: Sources and methods](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649efc5503460f94c0f445/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
GEOG3025
One Number Census• Dual system estimator: attempts to
match census and CCS responses• Assess probabilities of being• Imputation of missing households
and missing individuals within households
• Modification of census database to produce ‘one number’ outputs
• Cross-check against admin sources
![Page 22: GEOG3025 Census and administrative data 1: Sources and methods](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649efc5503460f94c0f445/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Assignment 4
• Work through CHCC unit 1 ‘A quick introduction to the census’ and unit 4 ‘Census 2001: the enumeration process’
• Use NeSS to locate information about your chosen neighbourhood and retrieve attributes that particularly characterise that area
