Statistics (Click to enter)
The system produces neighbourhood information profiles (Nip) from a neighbourhood level to higher areas and has the facility to allow people to create their own areas. It provides a range of analysis of social, economic and environmental data with comparisons with South Lanarkshire and Scotland where possible.
The system also has the ability to track certain selected indicators in an area over time (Tuc) - with again, where possible, South Lanarkshire and Scottish comparisons.
Through the mapping application it is possible to rank areas on the basis of a chosen indicator.
