The "Bremen neighbourhood atlas“ offers a great variety of city-wide, district-based information. Contents include social, demographic and macro-economic data. Upon each inquiry, users are presented with a map, a table and two graphics, which allows direct comparisons of districts and/or analyses of temporal changes. Diverse tools, such as the option to highlight districts of interest, and an intuitive interface allow for detailed and customized searches as well as easy menu navigation. In the end, the user is never more than a few simple clicks away from the desired information.

The Local Government Data Unit Wales (the Data Unit) is part of the local government family in Wales. Originally the Data Unit was set up in 2001 to help local authorities and the Welsh Assembly Government use data more effectively so that they are able to understand local priorities and improve the services they provide to the people of Wales. The mission hasn’t changed but the focus is now more on local government.

Meeting the need
To meet the need for an online information system geared to its key personas, the Data Unit launched its national InfoBase service in June 2009 (InfoBaseCymru). Several Welsh local authorities were keen to have their own mini sites based on InfoBaseCymru. The first local site, InfoBaseCaerffili, was therefore launched as a pilot at the same time as InfoBaseCymru, thus creating the InfoBase service.

This atlas was prepared for the newhamINFO Team of London Borough of Newham to present nationally ranked scores of multiple deprivation at small area level. The report uses our Performance Profile template which is ideal for presenting data of this kind - nationally consistent ranks of multiple domains related to deprivation. The bars of the bullet graph (top right) illustrate how varied the cross-domain profile of deprivation can be at a neighbourhood scale. The background grey bars indicate how areas rank nationally in terms of fifths (quintiles) with bars overlapping the darkest grey sections being classed in the 20% most deprived of all areas nationally.

These profiles provide statistics for individual neighbourhoods and even wards within a District area. These statistics help paint a picture of the local area in which people live, or people wish to find out more about.

The profiles will help North Yorkshire County Council and its partners when planning services to make sure they are taking local variation and local needs into consideration.

This map shows the neighbourhoods (or Lower Super Output Areas), coloured according to the 2009 Mosaic household groups.  Mosaic segments the country's households into fifteen groups (A to O), which can be seen in the map. The spine chart shows the proportion of each group represented within the selected area.  By default the Borough profile is displayed.  Click an area to change the selection.

How was this dynamic report created?

The Area Profile Template was used to create the report which combines a single map, table, spine chart and bar chart for data display. Indicators in the spine chart are arranged vertically in a scrollable list. This chart enables at a glance analysis across a range of indicators for a selected area. It makes the comparison of profiles for different areas quick and easy.
