This dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify households in England and Wales by whether or not the Household Reference Person has previously served in the UK armed forces. The estimates are as at Census Day, 21 March 2021.

Summary

Identifies whether the Household Reference Person (HRP) in a household has previously served in the UK armed forces. This includes those who have served for at least one day in armed Forces, either regular, reserves or Merchant Mariners who have seen duty on legally defined military operations. Households are classified by if they were in the regular or reserved UK armed forces, both or neither.

Quality Statement

Many who have previously served in the UK armed forces will be older males because of National Service. We applied extra quality assurance to correct some answers from currently serving personnel.
