This one day course will provide an introduction to small area geodemographic classification. Participants will gain experience of:
(i) accessing 2011 Census data using the Census Support services of the UK Data Service
(ii) building a small area geodemographic system based on census data
(iii) using a geographical information system to visualise the classification.
Objectives
- To learn how to access and extract census data from the UK Data Service using InFuse(aggregate statistics) and Boundary Data Selector (small area boundary data)
- To develop a conceptual and practical understanding of the steps needed to build a small area classification at the output area scale using PSPP
- To understand the composition of clusters and spatially visualise the results using QGIS
