Geo-demographics are used to describe and give names Distribution of LOAC Super-Group ‘types’ across Camden (typologies) to places with similar characteristics. The mix of social and economic conditions in Camden is like nowhere else, but parts of Camden are very similar to other parts of London. The 2011 Census London Output Area Classification (LOAC) describes Camden in terms of the following main Super-Groups by % of OAs: . B. ‘High Density & High Rise Flats’ (32%) . D. ‘Urban Elites’ (29%) . E. ‘City Vibe’ (22%) . F. ‘London Life-cycle’ (16%). Making sense of the names and maps Alone, the titles do not mean very much, but require that the maps and the names are viewed in tandem with the descriptions of the grouped characteristics; the descriptions are provided on the following slide. Super-Groups are the higher level theme (4 main themes, 7 overall in Camden). These are broken down further into Groups, providing a broader range of area types within the Super-Group themes. These too are described on the next slide, while a map of the 12 Groups in Camden is displayed on a further slide.

camden.gov.uk [Back to Index] Geo-demographics – groups and uses

Distribution of LOAC Groups/‘types’ across Camden Using geo-demographics . On their own, the grouping of areas by type provides a breakdown of a larger area into smaller areas according to similarities in their characteristics which can be mapped, e.g. LOAC Groups (left pane). . The power of geo-demographics is the further ability to ascribe data to the various types. The supposition is that a characteristic or piece of data that relates to one area of a certain type can, by extension, also be applied to other areas of that type. Such that, knowing something about a population of one area can be applied to populations of other areas sharing the same type. Examples of uses geo-demographics include: . Devising a communications strategy for recycling in Camden, targeting messages dependant on a marketing type ascribed to each area type. . Crime UCL used MPS burglary data and assigned it to LOAC Super-Groups according to the locations crimes occurred. Analysis showed that High Density & High Rise Flats was 30% below and London Life-Cycle was 5% below average burglary rates, while Urban Elites and City Vibe were 9% and 2% above average.

camden.gov.uk [Back to Index] Conclusion and further data

This type of impartial demographic data is used across the council and as part of our partnership working to inform policy development, business planning and commissioning to ensure our services meet the changing needs of our population. It helped the council develop the priorities and outcomes in the Camden Plan.

In summary

Camden’s population is highly mobile, diverse and growing, with a large proportion of young adults

The majority are well-educated and economically secure

However there is a significant minority, including many children, who live in deprivation characterised by poverty, worklessness, social housing and poor health

Deprivation is concentrated in particular parts of the borough, often very localised
