A Census of Population was taken on the night of Sunday, 28 April 2002, in accordance with the Statistics (Census of Population) Order 2001 (S.I. No. 491 of 2001). The Place of Work Sample includes ONLY persons who at the time of the census: were enumerated in a private household were 15 years old or over were enumerated at home (Question 7 = Here) indicated that their Present Principal Status was working for payment or profit (Question 24 = box 1). This dataset concentrates on transport questions.

A 30 per cent random sample of person satisfying all the following criteria: enumerated in a Private Household; 15 years old or over; enumerated at home on Census night (Question 7 = Here); indicated that their Present Principal Status was working for payment or profit (Question 24 = box 1) were selected from each Electoral District. Each person randomly selected was randomly assigned a sub-sample number 1-6. Each sub-sample was sorted by county of enumeration and industry code and unrepaired automatically captured address text to assist in coding. CSO only had the resources to code sub samples 1-3 so that although the overall sample coverage is about 15 per cent some Electoral Divisions may have a final sampling fraction greater than 15 per cent and others less than 15 per cent depending on the random sub-sample allocation. A grossing factor (WgtPersons) is assigned to each record in the sample taking account of differential sampling fractions. WgtPersons is the grossed number of persons of making this type journey to work.
