About this data

The postcode ME12 2PX is in the LSOA area called 'Swale 001B', in the Sheerness East ward.

The geographical demographic data for ME12 2PX 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)
