OAC used for household resource usage

Posted by Daniel Lewis

This academic paper acts is a useful study of resource usage by OAC. Study areas for each OAC super-group are shown to illustrate household resource usage, through calculating the weight of commodities (from Family Expenditure Survey) purchased by households in an area. “Typical” areas, representative of neighbourhoods in England and Wales, are chosen using the UK National Output Area Classification (OAC) system. In the paper one neighbourhood area is chosen to illustrate the resource demands of each super-group.

  • 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.
