This repository contains code to download and clean all Output Area level data for the England and Wales 2021 Census.
The R code:
- Download the bulk census data from Nomis
- Import the Output Area level data into R
- Create new variable names based on the sequential ordering of the variables and the table identification code
- Create a metadata lookup table providing the link between the new names and the original names
- Export the OA data as both CSV and Parquet files
The created CSV are available in the folder "/output_data/csv" and the parquet files in the folder "/output_data/parquet"
