About this data

Rather than showing demographic data from just ME8 0BY, 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 17 people who live in ME8 0BY.

The postcode ME8 0BY is in the LSOA area called 'Medway 029B', in the Rainham Central ward.

The geographical demographic data for ME8 0BY 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)
