Brief Description

Office for National Statistics Area Classification for Lower Super Output Areas in England

Detailed Information

The Office of National Statistics (ONS) published a 2001 Area Classification, derived from Census data. Information and methodology on this system, as well as the data files, can be downloaded from the ONS website: http://www.statistics.gov.uk/about/Methodology_by_theme/area_classification/

The ONS Area Classification groups together geographic areas according to common population characteristics. The Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) classification divides the United Kingdom population into 7 ‘supergroups’ (for example, ‘Multicultural City Life’ and ‘Disadvantaged Urban Communities) which are displayed on this map.

An Output Area Classification (OAC) map is also available on MapTube. http://www.maptube.org/map.aspx?mapid=1
