OAC: Local and Regional Intelligence

Posted by Alex

The OAC User Group were invited to participate in a Local and Regional Intelligence (LARI) event in the West Midlands.

“LARI is a CLG funded IEWM regional efficiency and transformation focused initiative. It seeks to develop and demonstrate the value of a local and regional intelligence network in order to share learning, strengthen relationships and ultimately benefit policy and decision making .The project will run for the period September 2009 to March 2011.”

The event website can be found 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.
