3. If a location name was used, select the appropriate geographic area of interest. (Using a Postcode will miss this step and take you straight to Step 2). We’ll select the SOA ‘Melton Newport East’ to go to Step 2.

4. This left hand box allows you to select geographies. The level of Geography containing your chosen area will be highlighted. Your selected area and level of geography are shown here. (If a postcode is used this always defaults to Output Area, the lowest geography level). This right hand box will display all available datasets for the geographic level selected.

5. It is possible to change the level of geography in order to select those datasets for that level. In this example we have changed the geographic level to Ward. We can see that the SOA of ‘Melton Newport East’ is within the Ward ‘Melton Newport’. Ward datasets will now be presented for ‘Melton Newport’.
