MARRIAGE & CIVIL PARTNERSHIPS
There was a huge variation across England and Wales in the proportion people who were married (incl. civil partnerships). The highest % in Wokingham (55.0%) was almost double the lowest in Lambeth (25.6%)

INTERNAL MIGRATION
The Census asked if people lived at a different address 12 months beforehand. We might have expected to see evidence of Covid-related migration in this data, but the patterns are dominated by in-migration to University cities

HOUSHOLD SIZE
Household size reveals interesting patterns within larger urban areas. City centres are dominated by one person households, whereas suburban areas have a much higher proportion of larger households
