Area classifications for Great Britain have been produced after every census since 1971, and from the 2001 Census onwards were extended to cover the whole UK. Using socioeconomic and demographic data from each census, they aim to identify areas of the country with similar characteristics. This information is useful to many groups including government departments, local authorities, the health sector and academics.
