A census of population is normally
taken every ten years and is carried out by the Census Office, part
of the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA).
The census is undertaken by law and in
accordance with an EU Regulation. It is taken as it provides the
essential statistical information about the population and households for all parts of the country used by
the Government, business and other professional
research/consultancy organisations.
The 2011
Census
The most recent census of population
took place on 29 April 2001. Details of the results of the 2001
Census are available on this website.

records are a useful tool for researching family history, and census
customer services can provide advice on finding statistical
information from previous censuses. However, the Census Office is not able to divulge any
personal information relating to individuals - this includes census
information requested by individuals relating to themselves. Northern Ireland
census forms remain secure and confidential under the terms of the
