About this data

Due to the limited amount of people who may live in SS12 0HQ, we've expanded the catchment area to include the neighbourhood.

Rather than showing demographic data from just SS12 0HQ, 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 118 people who live in SS12 0HQ.

The postcode SS12 0HQ is in the LSOA area called 'Basildon 006D', in the Wickford Castledon ward.

The geographical demographic data for SS12 0HQ 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)
