In order to facilitate browsing the data, and finding the required information, we have arranged the data within the delivery system into an 'intuitive' set of field Groups.

FAMILY  -  13 Criteria incl. Gender, Age, Marital Status, Number of Children in Household etc
GEOGRAPHY –  4 Criteria incl. Country and Region
ECONOMICS –  11 Criteria incl. Qualification Level, Working Status, Home Tenure, Main Supermarket

GEODEMOGRAPHICS – 10 Criteria incl. ACORN, CENSATION, MOSAIC, PersonicX, P2 and OAC

All the individual waves of data are separately identified, and you can select any choice from a single month, a selection of months, a year, or the complete data. This choice enables comparison over time – e.g. Q1 each year, or long term trend tables or graphs.

The full details of these Groups, Criteria and Responses, together with the full text of all the questions and their available responses, are laid out in our Data Catalogue which can be downloaded from the GUIDES page in PUBLICATIONS.
