Talk:Demographics of Scotland

Historical population tables
This section has 2 very similar data tables. Do you think we could combine these into a single table? --Dollumbnox (talk) 20:42, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Birth and mortality
Is there a reason why this table has some numbers in blue? I.e. the first 3 numbers in the fertility column. --Dollumbnox (talk) 21:34, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

2022 Census Data
Anyone have any idea when the data from the 2022 census will be made available to the public and when it can begin to be incorporated into this article? 78.147.177.144 (talk) 12:30, 22 March 2023 (UTC)


 * To my knowledge, they have not given a timeline as to when certain stuff will be released but I would imagine if its done in the same timespan as the English and Welsh data was the preliminary results will probably be released in late June of this year (no clue what that will include however, English and Welsh stuff only contained total population numbers while Northern Ireland's stuff contained stuff on Ethnicity, Religion etc. which was released later for England and Wales).

 * Okay. Thank you, I'll keep an eye out around that date. I originally thought it might have been released within the first few months of 2023. 2.98.201.84 (talk) 15:08, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
 * No problem, I'm going to assume you have already found this but I would additionally keep an eye on their Twitter account and website for when they might potentially (and eventually) give a timeline of when releases will be delivered in the future Tweedle (talk) 17:25, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I will do! 2.98.201.84 (talk) 15:02, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
 * UPDATE: To those who are interested, including the IP @2.98.201.84, they have (finally) released a schedule of when they plan to release data for the 2022 Census in Scotland. You can find such information here (or here). The first results of which being (which I thought two months ago) preliminary age and sex data in Autumn this year then in the Spring of 2024, you will get full data relating to that which then, in the Summer of 2024 will univariate tables be released for Ethnicity, Religion, Foreign background etc. Tweedle (talk) 20:54, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Wow. That's quite a while away. Thank you anyway for providing the timeline. 2.99.68.104 (talk) 19:40, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
 * No problem! Tweedle (talk) 22:39, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
