Catalogue description Welsh Office: Planning Services Division: 1971 Census Data Maps

This series contains a set of maps produced for the Planning Services Division of the Welsh Office using information derived from the 1971 Census returns, as a way of graphically analysing data from the returns. Their purpose was to illustrate the socio-economic distribution of population (based on the socio-economic position of the head of the household) so that areas of greatest need could be identified as part of the general planning process being carried out by the Welsh Office at that time.
