About this data

Due to the limited amount of people who may live in CO6 3NY, we've expanded the catchment area to include the neighbourhood.

Rather than showing demographic data from just CO6 3NY, 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 8 people who live in CO6 3NY.

The postcode CO6 3NY is in the LSOA area called 'Colchester 003A', in the Fordham and Stour ward.

The geographical demographic data for CO6 3NY 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)
