Residential Census UK
Build a clear picture of local residents and household characteristics.
Overview
Residential Census datasets provide a detailed view of local populations and households across the UK including housing, employment, mobility, health and living conditions. Available across detailed geographic levels, they provide a strong foundation for profiling, catchment analysis, market comparison and location planning. By using census data within Periscope®, teams can understand how many people live in an area, the household structure, demographics and living conditions and how these vary between locations.
