It’s easy to use

You define an area you are interested in and the community data you need is automatically calculated for your neighbourhood. The area might be as big as a local authority or as small as a street. It’s as simple as that.

 

It’s quick to use

You can generate an in-depth report about your chosen local community or build a data dashboard in just 10 minutes.
