About this data

Due to the limited amount of people who may live in SS2 6RS, we've expanded the catchment area to include the neighbourhood.

Rather than showing demographic data from just SS2 6RS, 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 71 people who live in SS2 6RS.

The postcode SS2 6RS is in the LSOA area called 'Southend-on-Sea 002D', in the St Laurence ward.

The geographical demographic data for SS2 6RS 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)
