New Graphs for Reports

2007-04-16T17:10:28--01:00

We have now updated many of the charts with the Job Seekers Allowance (JSA), ID2004 (indices of deprivation 2004) and the Crime Reports, this applies to both draw your own area and the standard areas (Wards, etc.)

Some of them are minor fixes where the was a problem for instance where the number of cases dropped below 10 for a particular category. Some of graphs are completely new like the Radar graphs and some are enhancemnts to the existing graphs like the addition of a smoothed "average" for the JSA graphs.

This has been made possible by the purchase of some new graphing technology that builds upon the graphs facilities within our existing software and we hope to update more of the reports and make use increased use of this, all with the goal of making the data more useful for our users.

If you have any ideas or comments on the new graphs or different ways of visualising the data then we would be keen to hear from you.

You may have noticed that this page has changed a little bit, the updates for updated reports, layers and functionality are now being delivered in a blog format, this has a number of advantages over the old static pages:

It allows you to register for updates using an RSS reader so you don't have to keep coming back to check for updates.
Because we can now categories each update you can choose to subscribe only to updates about the new Reports, or many be just Data Layers!
You can now comment on any update, tell us whats good, what bad and any mistakes that might have creeped it!
It's a lot easier for us developers to update the site!

Anyway I hope you like it.

NEW Ethnic Group Themes at OA that illustrate the distribution of Ethnic Groups within Bradford District. If there is data from the Census (or other data sources) that you feel could be usefully mapped in this way, please contact us.
NEW Graphs added to 2001 Census Report, at the moment there are no plans to extend this to other reports, however if you feel there is a need for them please contact us and providing their is sufficent demand we will add them.
NEW Middle Layer Super Output Areas added (Lower Layer Super Output Areas are already in the system).
NEW Indices of Deprivation 2004, available at SOA level, which is are a lot smaller than the wards that previous IMD2001. In addition to the overall deprivation score, each of the "domains" have their own maps as have the 20% most and least deprived SOA'S nationwide. Finally hovering the muse pointer over an area gives you information about the score and the rank amongst all of the SOA's in England.
NEW 2001 Population density map, available at the much finer level reduced postcode level rather than the 1991 Population density map only at the much blunter Census ED's. Additionally hovering the mouse pointer over a postcode when zoomed in gives further information. The postcode areas have been "cropped" to the residential areas so that for example postcodes which consist of an small area of residential area and a much larger area of fields has been reduced to the residential area. Therefore the population density is of the density of people in the residential area. NOTE: Because of the quantity of data with this layer turned on the map may be slow to appear or update.
NEW Local Authority and Regeneration Areas added to the map including the new Area Committee boundaries.
NEW Map printing, right click on the map and select print->print from Popup Menu.
