Launch of GeoConvert
The Census Dissemination Unit (CDU) is pleased to announce the launch of GeoConvert, its new online service providing postcode-related information, geography matching and geographical data conversion functionalities. GeoConvert is now available at the following URL:
http://geoconvert.mimas.ac.uk/
Geoconvert's functions allow users to:
- Obtain information relating to postcodes (e.g. deprivation scores, grid-reference co-ordinates, urban/rural indicators, area classifications, etc)
- Obtain population-based proportional redistributions between the zones of different geographies
- Convert (re-sample) population-related data from the zones of one geography to those of another
GeoConvert should prove useful to anyone working with large numbers of postcodes, for example in social or medical research, or AimHigher and Widening Participation work. It will also help those wishing to combine geographically-referenced data between geographies or over time.
