Also on the about page, it might be helpful to write out Lower Super Output Area the first time it appears for those who aren’t familiar with the acronym. Even though the words don’t give much of a sense of what the term means at least people won’t think they’ve missed something because they don’t know what the letters stand for.

Wherever the word LSOA appears it has a weird dotted line under it for me (Uni laptop, Google Chrome). You can see the first one in the screenshot above.

I like the floodrisk and conservation areas maps – would be good on a personal level to understand a bit more about what kinds of things are and are not allowed in different types of area (maybe one for later!)

One query I had is on the raw data – there is one community in York which shows frequency as >300 per hour. LSOA E01033070 – is this all buses in York? My own LSOA might be showing Park and Ride services which are from the edge of the area – and because it is quite a large area it shows 20 buses an hour when the service running through the main space is more like 1 every 2 hours. I guess these are issues which arise in all MSOA type representations as to what is in and out of boundary – but it struck me that some areas are very small and so the data is more representative of the space than others. The more complex and refined the data is then the more this kind of micro-validation might be worth thinking about. I.e. not – is the data wrong (I am presuming it is not) – but is it useful at that scale and does it accord with experience. Some kind of local testing might be considered?

I did some exploring of B&B accommodation and it accorded to what I would expect in York and Selby and also the same for camp sites in the area etc. I don’t think this information is so easy for people to access so this will, I am sure, be very much in demand across the different uses. Again – some uses might have better data than others. I am not sure how banqueting halls are classified and how many there are against which to declare a position relative to a national average – whereas shops and B&Bs have a lot.
