Variable : Age in five-year bands to age 85

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.

Identifier:

V_AGE_85UP

Name:

Age in five-year bands to age 85

Type:

Variable (V)

Text:

This system of age bands was used by the the 2001 census "Key Statistics", and therefore by the GBHGIS project when redistricting age group statistics from earlier dates. Because it is used for redistricting, we include an 'age not stated' category even though this does not appear in the 2001 data.
