Interactive Maps
The London Borough of Islington have used SASPAC's Web Publishing tool to promote Air Emission data released by the Department of Environment. The map contains emission intensity and sources for Middle Layer Super Output Areas (MLSOA) in Islington. We are always keen to share user experiences so if you have produced any interactive maps that you would like to share with other SASPAC users please contact the helpdesk. More...

Accessing the 2001 Output Area Classifications (OAC)
A reminder that the 2001 UK-wide OAC, produced on behalf of ONS by the University of Leeds, is available in a SASPAC format from our website. The classification is used to group together geographic areas according to key characteristics common to the population in that grouping. These groups are called clusters and have been derived from the 2001 Key Statistics Census data. Accessing this data through SASPAC will allow users to output OAC alongside other Census data, map OAC using MapShore and identify OAC characteristics around a particular point of interest. Full guidance on accessing OAC using SASPAC is also available. More...
