What you want to do
Market analysis
Understand the areas you trade in — prices, demand, demographics and trends — with the same data the big players buy, for free.
- Broadband Coverage by Postcode (Ofcom Connected Nations)Compare areas on the broadband that homeworkers, buyers and tenants now expect, and see where full-speed connections are still missing.
- Business Rates (Non-Domestic Rating List)See the commercial property stock of any area by type and size — how much retail, office or industrial space there actually is, and what it is worth.
- Census 2021 (England & Wales)Profile the people around each of your sites — age, affluence, housing, cars, languages, qualifications — and understand your catchment on official evidence rather than assumption.
- Charity Register (England & Wales)Size and segment the charitable sector by cause, area and income, so advisers and suppliers to charities understand the market they sell into.
- English Indices of Deprivation (IMD)Understand who lives around your sites — affluence, employment and health of each neighbourhood — and segment your patch on evidence rather than on assumptions about postcodes.
- Filed Company Accounts (Companies House Accounts Data)Benchmark yourself against the filed accounts of everyone else in your sector, and track how the sector's finances move year on year.
- Gender Pay Gap ReportsTrack pay and workforce make-up across an industry or region over eight years of consistent reporting — useful context for HR, recruitment and advisory firms.
- GP Prescribing in England (EPD)Track how a therapy area is moving nationally or in your patch, month by month — the same data the pharmaceutical analysts use, free.
- Licensed Vehicles & New Registrations (DVLA)Track how the vehicle mix is shifting in your area and nationally — the underlying evidence for any claim about EV adoption or fleet renewal.
- MOT Tests & Results (Anonymised)Understand the vehicle parc and what goes wrong with it: which components fail, at what age and mileage — the demand signal behind any parts, servicing or warranty proposition.
- Population Estimates (mid-year)Size the population you actually trade to in each area, and see whether it is growing or shrinking using the consistent year-on-year back series.
- Postcode Lookups & Boundaries (ONS)This is the bridge to almost everything else in this catalogue: government data is published by small area, your data is by postcode, and this is what connects the two.
- Property Sales — Price Paid DataThirty years of complete sales history lets you track how any local market has moved — volumes, price bands and property mix.
- Public Contracts (Contracts Finder)See who wins contracts in your sector, from which buyers and at what value — competitor and market intelligence straight from the public record.
- Public Transport Stops (NaPTAN)Public transport access shapes who can reach you, for custom and for staff. Use it to explain why footfall or recruitment differs between sites that otherwise look alike.
- Road Collisions & Casualties (STATS19)Understand where and when collisions cluster across an area — the basis of most road-safety, fleet-telematics and driver-training propositions.
- Road Traffic Counts (AADF)Show how busy your roads have become over twenty years, and back up a claim about passing trade with the government's own counts rather than a guess.
- Schools & Pupils (School Census)Profile the households around your sites using pupil characteristics — free school meals as an affluence signal, first language for the communities you serve.
- Street-Level Crime & OutcomesCrime levels shape footfall, rents and customer behaviour — add them to any analysis of the areas you trade in.
- UK Business Counts & Business DemographyPut a number on your addressable market — nationally, regionally or per local authority — and see which sectors are growing or shrinking.
- UK Company Register (Companies House Company Data)Count the companies in your sector and your area, and see how that has moved over successive monthly snapshots.
- UK House Price IndexTrack how prices are moving in each council area by property type, and for first-time buyers, cash buyers and new builds.
