ONS Local Workshop: Introducing NOMIS

ONS Local has been established by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to promote evidence-based decision-making at the local level. We aim to host insightful workshops which will provide practical, technical support to help users make the most of ONS and cross government data. Sinclair Sutherland is the head of NOMIS, a website which publishes statistics related to population, society and the labour market at national, regional and local levels. These include data from current and previous censuses.

ONS Local Presents is delighted to host Sinclair Sutherland of Durham University , who together with his team, runs Nomis. Nomis is a service provided by ONS that houses and delivers an extensive range of government statistical information on the UK population and labour market, including the Census, the Annual Population Survey, employment surveys, earnings, population estimates & projections, and life events (births, marriages, deaths).

In this session, Sinclair will introduce Nomis, explain what data and geographies it covers and how it can be used. The session will cover how to obtain area profiles as well as full data downloads. Nomis gives you access to the most detailed and up-to-date statistics from ONS sources for local areas and as such this workshop should be of interest to anyone working with data at the local level.

The workshop will cover what data is available on Nomis for all four nations of the United Kingdom.
