Notes

Census Day was the 21st of March 2021. The ONS perturbs every count slightly to protect privacy, each cell on its own, so a council's categories can add up to a total a few people different from one topic to another, and its councils add up to England's and Wales's counts only within a few dozen.
By council as the ONS's Census API gives them, its lower-tier local authorities of 2023, with Barnsley's and Sheffield's figures under the codes they had until the 1st of April 2025, as the API gives them. Scotland's and Northern Ireland's censuses are separate, so their councils are not here.
Every council's categories together count all its usual residents, “Does not apply” those the question was not asked of.
The ONS's description of the topic, “Place of work indicator (6 categories)”: Place of work indicator classifies people to the address of their main job.
The ONS's quality statement: As Census 2021 was during a unique period of rapid change, take care when using Labour Market data for planning purposes.
