The 1991 to 2006 Job Seekers Allowance report for "My Areas" (also known as Draw Your Own Area) gives an insight into the number of claimants under pensionable age who are available for, and actively seeking, work of at least 40 hours a week. The report displays the information for each quarter; it is split into the different age categories i.e 16-24, 25-49 and 50 and Over's and also shows the number of claimants by Male and Female totals. The data is then reprsented graphically on line graphs for each category, the data is also shown on comparison charts, so a comparison can be made between the different categories.

It is based upon the data released by the DWP (Department for Work and Pensions), the data was released at LSOA (Lower Layer Super Output Area) level which is then disaggregated to resident postcodes, based on the population and then reagreegated back up to the requested area on the fly.

A new report has been added to the BCSP (Bradford Community Statistics Project). The 2001 Travel to Work report for "My Areas" (also known as Draw Your Own Area) gives an insight into the commuters that work and live in the area, including details of the mix of transports methods (Car, Bus, Train, etc.), where they travel to and from (by local authority) and how far the travel. This will of course be useful for those interested in transport, the environment, economic development and contingency planning, it also illustrates how our duty of care to Bradford residents extends to preventing harm coming to them beyond our administrative boundary. It is based upon the Origin-Destination Matrices released by the ONS (Office of National Statistics), the data was released at OA (Output Area) level which is then disaggregated to resident postcodes, based on the population and then reagreegated back up to the requested area on the fly.
