The first was published in October 2022 and provided a summary of the headline results. This second report supersedes the initial publication, and provides further details of the findings. It provides comparisons across the 2012, 2016 and 2021 census years and presents an analysis of the results across six key themes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Population change and historical perspective<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Age and sex distribution of the population<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Population diversity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Housing and households<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employment and income<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Health and lifestyle characteristics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Data from the census are vital in providing valuable information for the Falkland Islands population. The most recent data, together with information from previous censuses, continue to be used to identify population needs and to inform Government\u2019s strategic decision-making and service planning for social and economic development in the Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All census releases will be publicised on the radio, print and social media, and will be available on this website.
