About Product
Created by the allmapdata team at CACI, the UK Postcode Sector, District & Area Points can be licenced with additional attributes stating the number of delivery points in each area. Delivery points approximate to the number of letter boxes. These are sometimes also used to model household counts on the assumption that although some letterboxes have no household, others may have 2 or 3 so on average this is a good approximation. Counts of delivery points are particularly useful for door drop delivery round management.
What's key?
- Delivery point information provided for each of the UK’s 11,120 postcode sectors
- The dataset has been enhanced to provide both geographic and non-geographic sectors
- The X & Y centroid is the median of all the unit postcodes in a particular sector
- The medians for the X & Y are calculated independently - an approach found to be statistically robust for deriving postcode sector centroids
Data type: Vector points
