About this data

Due to the limited amount of people who may live in CO1 2DW, we've expanded the catchment area to include the neighbourhood.

Rather than showing demographic data from just CO1 2DW, 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 31 people who live in CO1 2DW.

The postcode CO1 2DW is in the LSOA area called 'Colchester 011E', in the New Town ward.

The geographical demographic data for CO1 2DW 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)
