About the Demographic Information
The information on housing, people, culture, employment and education that is displayed about Belfast, Northern Ireland, BT16 0LY is based on the last census performed in the UK in 2021.
They are performed once every 10 years. Our website shows 2021 data for England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
For Scotland, 2022 data is shown (the Scottish census was performed a year later than the rest of the UK).
Please note: census information may include figures for adjacent streets and postcodes.
The figures are therefore representative of the local area, not a specific street address or row of houses.
The census collection is designed so that each group of postcodes should contain an average of 500 persons/200 households in Northern Ireland.
This is done to preserve the anonymity of the people in that area, as some postcodes cover a very small area, sometimes a single building.
