Across the UK as a whole, the median age is 40.7 years.
In general, inner city areas show high concentrations of people aged 18-30, suburbs show larger numbers of small children and adults aged 30-50,
and rural and small towns are more popular with older workers and retirees.
Many poorer areas lack a majority age group, which is due in part to the people in that area being constrained by circumstance
rather than being able to choose where to retire, raise a family or grow up.

Figures for relationship status do not include those aged under 16, or those family members aged 16-18 who are in full-time education.
Following the Civil Partnership Act that came into force in 2019, census figures for 2021/2022 no longer categorise same sex relationships as a separate category.
Civil partnerships are now included within the figures for the other categories (Married, Divorced and so forth).
