About this data

Due to the limited amount of people who may live in CO1 1XA, we've expanded the catchment area to include the neighbourhood.

Rather than showing demographic data from just CO1 1XA, 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 53 people who live in CO1 1XA.

The postcode CO1 1XA is in the LSOA area called 'Colchester 007E', in the Castle ward.

The geographical demographic data for CO1 1XA 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)
