About this data

Due to the limited amount of people who may live in CM1 2RS, we've expanded the catchment area to include the neighbourhood.

Rather than showing demographic data from just CM1 2RS, we've taken data from the LSOA (Lower Super Output Area) so we can display accurate demographic data.

Using a bigger sample of the local population gives us more insightful data than relying solely on the 93 people who live in CM1 2RS.

The postcode CM1 2RS is in the LSOA area called 'Chelmsford 011B', in the Waterhouse Farm ward.

The geographical demographic data for CM1 2RS has been extracted from the Office of National Statistics, responsible for the collection and publication of UK statistics relating to population, society and economy. (ONS)
