Mapping Data

Year 13, I stumbled upon this website which provides a database full of statistics and data that can be mapped. The link is here. The site is called 'Map mechanics' and has data on all parts of the world, not just the UK. It is designed to help businesses choose locations for there stores as it provides basic information on the socio-economic make-up of areas. It also includes census data.

Y13 Census Data

Here is the link for 2001 Census data. I have selected the 'Neighbourhood Search'. You can select any statistics that you think are relevant and compare different wards.

If you click on 'Map this data' then a choropleth map is produced for the borough, e.g Manchester, Trafford etc. You can then create graphs and charts for comparison by clicking on the tabs at teh top.
