About this data

Rather than showing demographic data from just SE23 3LD, 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 57 people who live in SE23 3LD.

The postcode SE23 3LD is in the LSOA area called 'Lewisham 021D', in the Forest Hill ward.

The geographical demographic data for SE23 3LD 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)
