Census information
The 2001 Census is a large body of useful statistical data about the borough’s population and their living and working conditions, managed by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
It collected detailed information about most people resident in Barnet. In Barnet, as in Outer London as a whole, the response rate to the census was 90%.
For a variety of reasons information could not be gathered from some addresses in Barnet and elsewhere. The ONS has made educated guesses about those who did not return the necessary information: a process that is called imputation.
This meant that imputed data was added in for about 32,000 other non-respondents believed to be living in the borough. The resulting total of 314,561 was therefore a best guess at the population - we can be certain that the true total of residents was somewhere between 308,000 and 320,000.
