Age should always be stored as single years to provide maximum flexibility at the output stage.
This is a complete classification for age by single years where the output categories are the same as the classification categories.
Less than 1 Year1 Year 2 Years : 119 Years 120 Years and Over
The full classification is available on the main page.
This groups age into five year groups, except for the final category which aggregates all persons 100 years and over.

This third standard output set groups single year of age into ten yearly age ranges, but aggregates person 90 years and over into one category.

This standard output set provides a compact set of ranges for use in cross-tabulations. This grouping has been used in the 1991 and 1996 Census of Population and Dwellings National Summaries.
15–17 Years 18–19 Years 20–24 Years 25–29 Years 30–34 Years 35–39 Years 40–44 Years 45–49 Years 50–54 Years 55–59 Years 60–64 Years 65 Years and Over

Less than 5 Years 5–14 Years 15–19 Years 20–29 Years 30–39 Years 40–49 Years 50–59 Years 60–64 Years 65 Years and Over
The standard output variable categories for date of birth classifications day and year are the same as the classification. For the date of birth month classification the 01 to 12 categories that represent each month are output as their respective months January to December.
The residual categories may be output separately or combined. Where a combination item of residuals is to be used in output, this item should be labelled ‘not elsewhere included’ and should have a footnote indicating its composition.
The residual categories are defined in Glossary and references.
