Data Map

Help

Choose a combination of both geography and data type. There are three geographies available: Current 2015 Seats; Proposed new 2018 Seats; and Council wards as at 2015. There are also twelve data types available including both political and demographic measures. See Definitions for more details about them.

Seats have green boundaries, wards have brown boundaries, and localities (output areas) have purple boundaries.

The map is fully browsable – you can move around the country and zoom in and out. You can also focus on a particular seat to see all the localities (census output areas) within it. Just click on any seat's marker to get focus on it, or enter a postcode into the "Focus postcode" box and press 'Go'. Focus mode shows all the localities within the seat, coloured according to the selected data type. To cancel the focus mode, press the 'Clear Focus' button.

To see the names of seats, wards or localities, just hover your mouse over the relevant circular marker. Alternatively, click the tick box 'Show Labels' and this will display all the area names when the map is zoomed in to a sufficiently large scale.

Power user tip: To see an individual output area, enter its postcode into the 'Focus Postcode' box and switch to 'Wards 2015' geography.
