Missing LSOA boundaries #5

Open bmcskelly opened 1 year ago

bmcskelly commented 1 year ago

Hi,

I seem to be missing LSOA boundaries for the 2021 census version. for example in the la_lsoa.csv file I see E01003003 "Kingston Upon Thames 018D" but no boundary file seems to exist.

I find something like 1044 of these missing entries versus https://geoportal.statistics.gov.uk/datasets/766da1380a3544c5a7ca9131dfd4acb6 (35,672 records).

If this is my fault for not understanding the exact cut of data I apologise. This is a super useful repo.

Hi @bmcskelly - glad the repo is useful!

I think there might be a slight misunderstanding - which potentially means the readme isn't very clear! I haven't got boundary files for individual LSOAs, but instead the boundary files show all the LSOA boundaries within a bigger area - e.g. Kingston. So the E01003003 area is shown in the two Kingston LSOA files:

If you want the individual LSOA area boundaries then the ONS link is the best place, or you can get them from my findthatpostcode.uk site - eg: https://findthatpostcode.uk/areas/E01003003.html

Hello,

Yeah I think this is mainly me not understanding properly/ a bad import. I can find all the LSOA now.

Sorry about this
