Economic, social and population statistics for the UK at national, regional and local levels. Description The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is the UK’s largest independent producer of official statistics, and publishes a range of economic, social and population statistics at national, regional and local levels. The site provides access to published statistics, including data underlying published articles. Statistics are drawn from a range of sources, including survey data (e.g. Census, Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE), Labour Force Survey) as well as vital events data (e.g. Births, deaths and marriages). ONS collects a number of datasets on Coronavirus (COVID-19).
