Rather than showing demographic data from just PL6 6SX, 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 14 people who live in PL6 6SX.

The postcode PL6 6SX is in the LSOA area called 'Plymouth 002D', in the Southway ward.

The geographical demographic data for PL6 6SX 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)
