This dataset contains Lower Layer Super Output Areas (LSOA) Census 2011-defined geographic variables for each wave of Understanding Society to date, and a household identification serial number for file matching to the main data.

Please see the Geographical Lookup Tables document for further details. Census 2001, 2011 and 2021 LSOA access restrictions Census 2001 and 2021 - defined LSOA geographic variables are also available under Special Licence access conditions to match to Understanding Society data - see SN 6670 and SN 9169 respectively.
