Falkirk between the censuses
The census is taken once a decade, so what it gives Falkirk is two readings, ten years apart — not a trend. Each table below shows both censuses’ published counts, each year’s share of its own total, and the change. Where the two censuses named a category differently, the note under the table says exactly which labels are compared.
The census tables held here cover England and Wales, and no census figures are held for Falkirk. Scottish and Northern Irish censuses are run separately and are recorded as a data gap until they are ingested.
What this can and cannot say
These figures say how many people, and what share, identified each way on the two census days. They do not say why the make-up changed: births, deaths, people moving in and out, and people answering differently all move these numbers, and the census does not separate them. The area’s year-by-year components of change cover the why for total population.
