nCube definition


This data matrix holds retrospective data on house occupancy ten years earlier. These figures will generally be identical to the current data published by the earlier census, but may be of interest if (a) the earlier census did not publish these data or (b) the boundaries of the reporting unit changed significantly between the censuses, as these data will be for the unit as defined at the later date.
