The latest outputs from researchers, alumni and friends at the UCL Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA).
Cross-posted from the DataShine blog. Here’s a little visualisation created with the DataShine platform. It’s the DataShine Commute map, adapted to show online cycle flows, but all of them at once – so you don’t need to click on a location to see the flow lines. I’ve also added colour to show direction. Flows in … Continue reading The Great British Bike to Work →

Following on from my two maps of the small-area modal method of travel to work – one map includes cars and so is most interesting for London, and one map excludes cars and so is most interesting for the rest of the country, where cars otherwise dominate – I’ve refined the car-excluding map and introduced … Continue reading The Battle of the Roads →

Here’s a map of the top method of travel to work, for people aged 16-74 and in employment, at the time of the 2011 Census: The pattern is, fairly evenly, that car use (light blue) dominates except for people living in the very centre of cities, where walking to work (green) is the most popular … Continue reading What if There Were No Cars? →

I presented a talk on geodemographic mapping, at a visual methods workshop “In/Visibility and Difference” which took place in Berlin at Bard College (formerly the European College of Liberal Arts). The workshop was organised by the TransformIG project at Humboldt University in Berlin, which was also the venue for the keynote part of the meeting. … Continue reading In/Visibility and Difference – Visual Methods Workshop in Berlin →

I was in Manchester a couple of weeks ago for a UKDS conference on applications of the Census 2011 datasets that have been made available, through the ONS, NOMIS, UKDS and other organisations/projects. The conference was to celebrate the outputs and projects that have happened thus far, now that the Census itself is four years … Continue reading UKDS Census Applications Conference →

Here’s a graphic I’ve made by taking a number of screenshots of DataShine Commute graphics, showing the different methods of travelling to work in the City of London, that is, the Square Mile area at the heart of London where hundreds of thousands and financial and other employees work. All the maps are to the … Continue reading The City of London Commute →

OpenLayers is a powerful web mapping API that many of my websites use to display full-page “slippy” maps. DataShine: Census has been upgraded to use OpenLayers 3. Previously it was powered by OpenLayers 2, so it doesn’t sound like a major change, but OL3 is a major rewrite and as such it was quite an … Continue reading OpenLayers 3 and DataShine →

The features were launched at the UK Data Service‘s Census Research User Conference, last week at the Royal Statistical Society. Local Area Rescaling This helps draw out demographic versions in the current view. You may be in […]

The 2011 Area Classification for Output Areas, or 2011 OAC, is a geodemographic classification that was developed by Dr Chris Gale during his Ph.D at UCL Geography over the last few years, in close conjunction with the Office for National Statistics, who have endorsed it and adopted it as their official classification and who collected […]

Today, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) have released the Travel to Work Flows based on the 2011 census. These are a giant origin-destination matrix of where people commute to work. There are various tables that have been released. I’ve chosen the Method of Travel to Work and visualised the flows, for England and Wales, […]

This is part of the ESRC BODMAS project, here at UCL’s Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, that is led by James, and which started at the beginning of this year. DataShine: Census shows web maps of the Quick Statistics aggregate tables of Census data for England/Wales for […]

Lewisham’s “data” I’ve been looking at a lot of London Borough council websites recently, for the Election Map. I’d rather I hadn’t – just one website would be better – but in London, each borough council publishes its local election results first and foremost to its own website, rather than it being pushed to a […]

Here is the new political colour of London for 2014, following the local council elections last week. Rather than applying a simple colour to each of the 32 boroughs as most election maps do, I have instead represented all the 628 wards, across the boroughs, as a coloured circle. The map shows votes, not results. […]

London Tube Stats maps data about how the London Underground is used – how many people use each station at various times of the day, and where they go once they are on the tube. Transport for London, the city’s public transport authority, have a huge amount of data available in their Developers’ Area website, […]
