About this data

Due to the limited amount of people who may live in RM8 3ED, we've expanded the catchment area to include the neighbourhood.

Rather than showing demographic data from just RM8 3ED, 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 102 people who live in RM8 3ED.

The postcode RM8 3ED is in the LSOA area called 'Barking and Dagenham 004A', in the Heath ward.

The geographical demographic data for RM8 3ED 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)
