Census, 1951
Preparing detailed tables for individual areas of the country is a lengthy process.
The Registrar General has therefore analysed a 1% sample of the total returns
obtained from the 1951 census survey and issued these as an indication of the
probable findings to be available in due course (Census 1951, One per cent. Sample
Tables, Part I). Those relating to Croydon show for example that the total excess
of females over males is due to a preponderance of women over 34 years of age.
Up to 35 there is an excess of males.
That of the total males aged 15 years and over, both occupied and retired,
the occupational group distribution is:—
