Abstract:

"The purpose of this article is to draw attention to one or two special features of the plans for the 1991 [United Kingdom] Census which should improve the use and usefulness of the results." These changes concern the use of postal codes; efforts to achieve a more complete population base; the counting of dwellings, housing quality, one-parent families, hours of work, chronic illness, and ethnic groups; and output from the census.
