:
Percentage of persons entitled to voluntary schooling attending
Rates are used to define comparative statistics that can be
mapped and graphed.
For example, our occupational information includes counts
of the number of workers in employment and out of employment,
as well as the total number of workers.
We then define a measure called the 'Unemployment Rate',
which uses the number out of work rather than the number
in work, and expresses it as a percentage of the total,
rather than a rate per thousand.
The descriptive text in the system is defined mainly
for rates.

This is about people choosing education, and therefore excludes
those required to attend by law.
For 1851, when no schooling was compulsory, we compare numbers at school with
the total aged 5 to 14.
The problems of combining data from the special schools census with population totals
from the main census are shown by the Scilly Isles having 138% of those aged 5 to 14
at school, but no other district had rates over 85%.
Overall, Wales and the south west, and most industrial areas had low numbers at school,
while the whole west side of London had consistently high numbers.
