OAC on London Profiler

Posted by Daniel Lewis

Researchers in the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis at University College London have developed a website which maps a range of public sector data for London. The website is called London Profiler and can be accessed at http://www.londonprofiler.org.

Of interest to users of the Output Area Classification is the inclusion of both the SuperGroup and SubGroup data. Additionally, they have developed their own geodemographic classification for London known as LOAC or ‘London Output Area Classification’. A further feature is the ability to add your own data in KML format onto the map. An example has been formalised using the Nestoria property search website. The website is very intuitive with an interface similar to Google Maps.

  • 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.

    OAC interactive map was developed by Richard Milton at the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA) at UCL.

    SOAC/DZ interactive map was developed by Maurizio Gibin and Alex Singleton also in CASA and the Department of Geography at UCL.
