Definition

This variable identifies the Output Area (OA) for the person's travel destination. Travel destination relates to workplace in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and to place of work or study in Scotland.

The variable applies to all people, not just those in a job (or studying in Scotland). In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, if the person works mainly at or from home or has no fixed place of work or is aged less than 16 or over 74 or was not working in the week before the census the OA is the same as the OA of residence.

In Scotland, if the person works or studies mainly at or from home or has no fixed place of work or study or is not currently working or studying the OA is the same as the OA of residence.
