output area boundaries scotland's census 2022 - open data

This dataset shows the 2022 Census Output Areas (OAs). OAs are the smallest geographical unit for which Census data is released, and as a result, they act as the basic “building-blocks” for the creation of other statistical geographies, e.g. Data Zones. The OAs are constructed by aggregating together a small number of Postcodes. Because the OAs cover small areas and contain relatively small numbers of households and population (households in the range 25 to 89; population >= 60), there is only a limited amount of Census data that can be released without infringing confidentiality.

An important requirement during the creation of the 2022 OAs was to attempt to keep the boundaries the same, or similar, as the 2011 OAs – this would make it easier to compare over the time period
