The National Classification of Census Output Areas is a three tier hierarchy consisting of 7 (Super-groups), 21 (Groups) and 52 (Sub-groups). The classification was created from 41 census variables and classifies every output area in the UK based of its value for those variables.
The classification is a joint project between the School of Geography, University of Leeds and the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The project was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the ONS.
This site which is hosting the classification in conjunction with National Statistics Online is designed to give users access to the classification and information about its creation and additional information to aid use.
