2011 census form peek

[Nick29]

How about spending census night in a traffic jam on the M25?    How should that be enumerated?

Anyone temporarily away from home on census night would fill in the form giving their usual address.

Has anyone tried phoning the Help Line yet?

I think they will be overwhelmed by the questions.

I predict chaos and confusion.

ok no im confused again, i posted on this thread a few days ago as i am away on census night and the reply was you are a vistor on the census of the place you are staying and you fill out your own when you get home?!!

How many non-domestic premises have received Household Forms?

Visitors are not entered in detail. Question H5 asks how many visitors were staying over night on 27th March, then on page 23 are Visitor Questions, where only their name and address, together with date of birth and sex are entered. Any visitor then has to fill in the complete form at their usual address, when they get home.

Yes - all visitors (UK and international) are included with minimal details about them and details of their usual address. This helps where there are areas with lots of visitors (like holiday towns) to plan services for them.

If someone who is staying overnight has NO usual address - they are included as a member of your household and have to complete the full details as a member of the household. This is to make sure no one is missed out.

I think..

Have all mobile homes been sent a Form?

[Nick29]

Sorry, I gave some duff information out earlier, which I've now deleted.  That'll teach me not to post until my eyes have woken up ! 

Anyway, there's lots of online help for the 2011 census at http://help.census.gov.uk/england/help/help-and-information/index.html

Mobile homes will either get a normal household form (if they are the kind where people live all the time instead of a house)..or the manager of the park will get a communal form and lots of individual forms addressed to all the mobile homes which they are supposed to distrubute and collect to give the the Special Eumerator.
