OAC and 2001 Census Interaction Data

Posted by Daniel Lewis

OAC can be used to analyse Census Interaction Data; data of flows of individuals in the UK between origins and destinations. These flows are either the residential migrations of individuals from one place of usual residence to another or of commuters making journeys from home to workplace. Such data has always been able to tell us specific demographic breakdowns of commuters and migrants, but OAC offers a new dimension of analysis based on the analysis of like-population groups and their patterns. Oliver Duke-Williams offered a presentation with some insight into such an analysis:

  • 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.
