The 2011 Census provides data on older people (aged 65 and over) who were usually resident in England and Wales and had moved address in the year prior to the census. This analysis, produced by the Office for National Statistics, is based on responses to Census Question 21 about usual address one year ago. It is designated as National Statistics and is licensed under OGL-UK-3.0.
