Travel to work flows - initial findings for Glasgow Commonwealth Games City

The Office for National Statistics published census tables (published on 25th July 2014) on travel to work flows as part of a release or UK Origin Destination statistics (See footnote for more details)

These tables allow more detailed analysis of the way people travel to work, in particular subdividing workers depending on where they are resident.  The following analysis was carried out for Glasgow City, where workers were subdivided into those living in Glasgow and others living outwith Glasgow in other parts of Scotland.

As expected there is a much percentage of workers travel into Glasgow by car from surrounding areas, than travel from within Glasgow (59% compared with 40%) . Similarly marked differences with those travelling by train 24% compared with 9%.  Bus travel is reported by 14% of workers travelling into Glasgow from outwith, compared with 24% of workers travelling from within the city.

Compared with 2001 , the main changes in the methods of transport used are

i) For those travelling from within Glasgow

3 percent point increase in travel by train
2 percent point decrease in travel by bus
2 percent point decrease in travel by car (driving)
2 percent point decrease in passenger in a car
1 percent point increase in travel by bike

3 percent point increase in travel by foot

ii) For those travelling from outwith Glasgow

6 percent point increase in travel by train
3 percent point decrease in travel by bus
2 percent point decrease in passenger in a car

Footnote: Origin Destination 

Origin destination statistics are census tables which deal with movement/ flow of people; either as migration (from their address one year ago before the census) or travel to work or study (to their workplace address). These flows can be cross-tabulated by other variables of interest (for example, method of travel).

The first batch of this data is now available from NOMIS (published 25^th July 2014), and cover the following for Scotland, down to local authority level:

WU01UK: Location of usual residence and place of work by sex

WU02UK: Location of usual residence and place of work by age

WU03UK: Location of usual residence and place of work by method of travel to work

The tables are published here Reference tables

Future releases will cover smaller areas below local authority.  Information on proposed timetables and release details can be found here plans for further releases

Census 2011: Release 3G - Detailed characteristics on Labour Market and Education in Scotland

Release 3G - Detailed characteristics on Labour Market and Education in Scotland published today gives information on patterns of qualifications for different ethnic groups, and by age group. (Table DC5202SC)

Focusing on the percentage of the population (aged 16 and over) who have degree qualification or higher. Compared with the ethnic group White-Scottish , all other groups have higher rates of the population with degree.  For example, 22% of the White-Scottish ethnic group have a degree or higher, compared with 43% of White :Other British and 40% of Caribean or Black ethnic groups.

The rates of degree is highest in the 25-34 age group, with a similar pattern of higher rates in all ethnic groups compared with White Scottish. This reflects the increased update of higher education but also the impact of young people moving to Scotland to study.

Interesting patterns with older age groups. For example, White:Irish and Asian ethnic groups have relatively high rates with degree qualifications in the young age groups, and relatively low rates of degree in the older age groups.  Reflecting different patterns of migration over the 50 years.
