About this data

Due to the limited amount of people who may live in PL6 7SH, we've expanded the catchment area to include the neighbourhood.

Rather than showing demographic data from just PL6 7SH, 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 144 people who live in PL6 7SH.

The postcode PL6 7SH is in the LSOA area called 'South Hams 001A', in the Bickleigh and Shaugh ward.

The geographical demographic data for PL6 7SH 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)
