Where the numbers come from, and what is not built yet
Where the numbers come from. Households with no car or van, by small area. England and Wales: ONS, Census 2021 table TS045, by 2021 Lower Layer Super Output Area, census date 21 March 2021 — England and Wales 23.3%, England 23.5%. Scotland: National Records of Scotland, Scotland’s Census 2022 table UV405, by 2022 Data Zone, census date 20 March 2022 — Scotland 26.4%, which we added up from the 7,392 Data Zones because NRS does not publish a national figure in that table. The two censuses are a year apart and are not strictly comparable, so every area is measured against its own nation and never against the other one. An LSOA or a Data Zone is a few streets — around 1,500 people — so these figures describe your neighbourhood, not your council.
Northern Ireland. Not covered, and the reason is legal rather than statistical. NISRA published the equivalent census figures, but the Northern Ireland records in the ONS Postcode Directory come with a licence for internal business use only, and the Open Government Licence re-use grant excludes them. Publishing a BT lookup needs a separate licence from Land & Property Services. We have not got one yet, so BT postcodes return nothing rather than a guess.
What is not built yet. The journey-time panel is a placeholder. It will be filled from the Department for Transport Journey Time Statistics, which give travel times to employment, GPs, schools and town centres for every small area in England, by public transport and walking, by cycle and by car. There is no Scottish equivalent published in the same form, so Scotland may wait longer than England for it.
