UK Census interaction data

Since 2002, Census Interaction Data Service (CIDS) has been providing social science researchers and students in the UK with access to the ‘Origin-Destination Statistics’ collected by the statistical agencies (through decadal censuses).
Origin-Destination Statistics, so-called because they involve two geographical areas, comprise:
- Special Migration Statistics (SMS): counts of migrants in the 12 months prior to each population census (in 2000-01, 1990-91 and 1980-81)
- Special Workplace Statistics (SWS): counts of those commuting to work at the time of the census (in 2001, 1991 and 1981)
Sets of tables containing a number of variables or data counts
