About this data

Due to the limited amount of people who may live in CO4 0LR, we've expanded the catchment area to include the neighbourhood.

Rather than showing demographic data from just CO4 0LR, 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 106 people who live in CO4 0LR.

The postcode CO4 0LR is in the LSOA area called 'Colchester 022C', in the St John's ward.

The geographical demographic data for CO4 0LR 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)
