Numbers of Non-Religious & Religious in Dorset (by Age, Ethnic Group, Country Group & Occupation)

Census 2011: The 16th May 2013 release of census data drills down to numbers of religious & non-religious in local authority regions of Bournemouth, Poole and county of Dorset (comprising Christchurch, East Dorset, North Dorset, Purbeck, West Dorset, Weymouth and Portland) - see map left.

I have compiled the new religious data into four sections with  examples from the town I was born in, Bournemouth (click image for larger image). Each of my Excel summaries has details of the above 8 Local Authorities in Dorset County.

NB. Sections on National Identity by Religion and  Economic Activity by Religion are not included in my compilation.
