Definitions
Age
Age is derived from the date of birth question and is a person's age at their last birthday. Dates of
birth that imply an age over 115 are treated as invalid and the person’s age is imputed. Infants less than one year old are class
years of age.
Mean age
Mean age is calculated by dividing the sum of each person’s age by the number of people. Ages are the age at last birthday (in
years).
Median age
The median age is the middle value when all the ages are arranged in order from youngest to oldest. Ages used are the age at
(in whole years).
Usual resident
The main population base for outputs from the 2011 Census is the usual resident population as at
census day 27 March 2011. Although the population base for enumeration included non-UK short-term residents, this populatio
separately and is not included in the main outputs from the 2011 Census. All outputs, unless specified, are produced using only
residents of the UK.
For 2011 Census purposes, a usual resident of the UK is anyone who, on census day, was in the UK and had stayed or intend
the UK for a period of 12 months or more, or had a permanent UK address and was outside the UK and intended to be outside
less than 12 months.
