HOUSEHOLDS across Dorset will soon be asked to take part in Census 2021. The census is a ten-yearly survey which has been carried out every decade since 1801, with the exception of 1941, during the Second World War. It provides valuable population information to help councils and governments plan services. It is also used by charities to help them get the funding they need and by businesses to help them decide where to set up, which creates job opportunities. Census 2021 will be the first run predominantly online, with households receiving a letter with a unique access code, allowing them to complete the questionnaire on their computers, phones or tablets.
