How we produce these scores
These scores are calculated from a proprietary algorithm that is based on multiple sets of data supplied by ONS, Census data, Ofsted for each of the 34,753 Lower Super Output Areas (LSOA). They are given as a purely indicative overview of the neighbourhood area.
Our scoresheet evaluates all aspects of this neighbourhood, including: demographics, transport, education, environment, crime, general location, local amenities and levels of deprivation.
Please remember that scoring a particular neighbourhood based on these factors can be subjective. For example, a high transport score would normally suggest that the location is in good proximity to train stations, bus stops and airports. For some, this may be a positive aspect of a neighbourhood due to its convenience of location. For others, this would be a nuisance. Bear this in mind as you're using this report. OX2 7AX Geography
