Data quality indicators for questions asked on the 2021 Census of Population questionnaires are now available. These quality indicators include non-response rates and imputation rates for most of the questions asked of the total population. Quality indicators are also available for key income variables.
Data tables containing question-level quality indicators for the 2021 Census of Population are produced for many geographic levels. These quality-indicator-specific tables can be used in conjunction with the topic-based data tables to assess the quality of statistics produced. More information on quality indicators available for the 2021 Census of Population is provided in the 2021 Census Data Quality Guidelines released today, as well as in the reference guides for each domain of interest available on the Reference materials, 2021 Census page.
