Neighbourhood Statistics Service

The Neighbourhood Statistics Service (NeSS) was established in 2001 by the UK's Office for National Statistics (ONS) and the Neighbourhood Renewal Unit (NRU) - then part of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM), now Communities and Local Government (CLG) - to provide good quality small area data to support the Government's Neighbourhood Renewal agenda. This cross-Government initiative also involved the co-operation and partnership of data suppliers across departments, agencies and other organisations. The ONS closed the Neighbourhood Statistics website for England and Wales on the 12 May 2017.[1] To offset this, the ONS is aiming to meet the needs of users via the ONS website, although direct postcode searches are no longer available to users.[2] [3]

The Scottish Government continues to provide local statistics via Statistics.Gov.Scot and Census area profiles.[4][5]

Neighbourhood statistics for Northern Ireland continue to be made available from the Northern Ireland Neighbourhood Information Service (NINIS).[6]
