A vision of Britain from 1801 to now.
Including maps, statistical trends and historical descriptions.
Variables serve as the dimensions of nCubes, and are generally based on the questions on forms such as the census schedule. However, in the aggregate data held in the Vision of Britain system we do not store the individual responses but counts of the number of each kind of response, so variables are made up of categories, such as age groups.
Themes, which organise the database into broad topics:
Entity ID | Entity Name |
