A request for photos for all users to share to illustrate and visualise the OAC

Posted by Alex

One of the priorities that emerged from the Information Exchange was the need for photos to illustrate the characteristics of individual Super-Groups, Groups and Sub-groups.

There are some photos on Dan Vicker’s web page (scroll down Photos is the third heading from the bottom of the page between Cluster Profiles and Other sources of Information)

However due to time and cost restrictions during his PhD Dan took most of the photos in one region of the UK, so to make sure that the OAC is representative the Steering Group would like to gather together photographs taken across the UK.So if you have an existing series of labelled photographs with the unit postcode or street name and town of where the photograph was taken or if you have a single photograph please send it to the OAC User Group Administrator Martin Robson at martin.robson@lbhf.gov.uk with the title “OAC Photos request”.

The new set of photographs will be published on this website. There is no prize for the best photographs but you will have the sense of pride of seeing your photograph included in the new set of photographs with your name as the source, which all users will have access to and can then include in their work .

  • 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.
