Cambridgeshire Atlas- OAC and Place Survey

Posted by Daniel Lewis

Cambridgeshire County Council has created an interactive map to disseminate the results of their place survey for 2008 in which they used the Output Area Classification extensively. OAC is used to set the findings of the place survey in a broader context, it is interesting to note the way that Cambridgeshire have used the different levels of aggregation of OAC as a way of better targetting, for example, a large rural population. The place survey is thus able to link up OAC with some important government national indicators, such as social cohesion, belonging, anti-social behaviour and so on.

The report is available here.

There is also an accompanying social classification webpage available here.

  • The Output Area Classification

    The Output Area Classification (OAC) distills key results from the Census for the whole of the UK to indicate the character of local areas.

    It profiles populations, structures other data, and helps target resources. OAC is in the public domain, and the User Group supports and promotes its use as geodemography open to all.
