The functions on this page are all used for reading 2021 ONS census data for Church of England geographies. You can:
- View available datasets with
coe_census_datasets() - Get census data at a level of your choosing with the general-purpose
function
coe_census()- Get parish-level data with
coe_census_parish() - Get diocese-level data with
coe_census_diocese() - Get data for all of england with
coe_census_england()
- Get parish-level data with
- You can also compare a parish with its diocese and the whole of
england in a single table with
coe_parish_snapshot()
View available data with coe_census_datasets()
coe_census_datasets() displays information on all the
census datasets available through this package. By default, the function
returns a two-column tibble including ons_id and
description, but setting description = FALSE
will return a character vector of all valid ONS ids that can be passed
to functions such as coe_census().
Parish-level datasets were produced by Ken Eames, Senior Statistical Researcher at the Church of England’s Data Services team. The original datasets are available on the Church of England website. This package uses data that were last updated November 2024. If you notice that the source data have since been updated, please create a Github issue at https://github.com/Church-Army/coedata

coe_census()
Get statistics on a particular topic, for a particular geographical level, filtering as required. Levels include ‘parish’, ‘diocese’ or ‘england’. Parishes can be filtered with parish codes and dioceses with diocese numbers, but national-level tables are comprised of a single row and cannot be filtered.
