Rather than showing demographic data from just CR7 8LF, we've taken data from the LSOA (Lower Super Output Area) so we can display accurate demographic data.

Using a bigger sample of the local population gives us more insightful data than relying solely on the 43 people who live in CR7 8LF.

The postcode CR7 8LF is in the LSOA area called 'Croydon 006E', in the Thornton Heath ward.

The geographical demographic data for CR7 8LF has been extracted from the Office of National Statistics, responsible for the collection and publication of UK statistics relating to population, society and economy. (ONS)
