DISTWORK: Distance to work
DISTWORK is banded into seven distance groups with other categories for people working at home, people working outside Great Britain and those who did not state their place of work. People not in paid work in the week prior to census day were not assigned a value.
The distance to work is measured as a straight line distance between the postcode of residence and the postcode of place of work. For England and Wales this calculation is based on the grid reference of the first address in the postcode as listed in the Central Postcode Directory (CPD). This is normally accurate to 100m. For Scotland, the calculation is based on the centroid of the populated part of the postcode and is given to the nearest 10m. The variable has been derived from WPLAIND, WPLADET, URESIND, URESDET and ENUMPC (from the household record).
The accuracy of the calculation is dependent on the accuracy of the grid references in the CPD and postcodes of the place of residence (supplied by the enumerated person) and the place of work. The latter is entered by the OPCS using information supplied on address of workplace and, where this information is incomplete, from lists of workplace establishments from the 1989 Census of Employment and other appropriate sources
