Total areas of reporting units
nCubes hold all the statistics presented by the Vision of
Britain system, and are defined as combinations of variables.
For example, the age-sex tables that appear in most census
reports are held as two-dimensional nCubes in which one
dimension is a variable categorising sex and the other
variable defines a set of age groups. nCubes can have many
dimensions, such as age by sex by occupation by cause of
death, or just one.

Although the Agricultural Census and similar surveys, like the 1801
Crop Returns, reported on broadly the same units as the Census of
Population, they often either provide or need different overall
areas for the units, which are recorded here.
Areas from the Agricultural Census may be different because
that survey usually included the whole of a farm within the parish in
which the farmhouse was located even if parts of the farm were
in other parishes.
The 1801 Crop Returns did not list total parish acreages and
neither did the 1801 Census of Population, so we use the 1831
acreage if available, or failing that the 1851 acreage; in both
cases these should be the overall acreages of mother parishes,
including component townships, etc.
For counties in 1801, we include only the acreages of parishes which
are included in the returns and for which we have been able
to find an acreage.
NB some of these areas come from the farm surveys themselves,
but others are derived values computed from other sources; in
either case, they are the most appropriate areas to use as
divisors when working with farm survey data, if rates are to
be computed relative to the total area of the unit rather than
the farmed area.
Where totals are available including and excluding areas of
water, the figure for the unit area excluding water is held here.

Data map listing
Each of our datasets, or nCubes, combines one or more variables (Var)
each of which consists of a set of categories. The data map lists all the
possible combinations of categories. The cell references are the identifiers
held in our main table of statistics, recording what each number measures.
