Using a bigger sample of the local population gives us more insightful data than relying solely on the 14 people who live in CR8 2AU.

The postcode CR8 2AU is in the LSOA area called 'Croydon 037E', in the Purley ward.

The geographical demographic data for CR8 2AU 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)
