Composed of aggregates of Census Output Areas, data zones are large enough that statistics can be presented accurately without fear of disclosure and yet small enough that they can be used to represent communities. They are designed to have roughly standard populations of 500 to 1,000 household residents, nest within Local Authorities (at the time of the Census), have compact shapes that respect physical boundaries where possible, and to contain households with similar social characteristics. Aggregations of data zones are often used to approximate a larger area of interest or a higher level geography that statistics wouldn’t normally be available for. Data zones also represent a relatively stable geography that can be used to analyse change over time, with changes only occurring after a Census. Data Zone boundaries were first created following the 2001 Census, with 6,505 data zones covering the whole of Scotland.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

The Data Zone geography was developed for use within the Scottish Neighbourhood Statistics programme to allow statistics across a number of policy areas to be readily (and regularly) available for a consistent and stable geography. The dataset was originally created by St. Andrews University and the detailed methodology can be found at http://www.scotland.gov.uk/library5/society/sndata-00.asp
In summary, primary school catchments were approximated to Census Output Area boundaries, which were then amalgamated to data zones based upon population, compactness and social homogeneity. The main criteria used in the initial definition of data zones in approximate order of importance were:
1. Approximate equality of resident population (500-1,000 persons)
2. Compactness of shape
3. Approximate homogeneity of social composition
4. Existence, where possible, of some community of interest
5. Accordance with other boundaries of local significance
6. Accordance with prominent features in the physical environment
This dataset also includes an area field with the value given in hectares. This area is the 'standard' area which was calculated from Census Output Areas and then assigned to Data Zones through a look up table. This follows the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Standard Area Measurement methodology, as agreed in 2005. This was done to ensure that total areas remained consistent when comparing geographies. For more information on ONS Standard Area Measurement, please see http://www.ons.gov.uk/about-statistics/geography/products/geog-products-other/sam/index.html.
The dataset is managed by the Scottish Government's Geographic Information Science and Analysis Team (GI-SAT), on behalf of Statistical Policy teams of the Scottish Government.
