In recent times there has been an increase in the availability of and requirement for public domain data that can be used to construct community level profiles in order to study contextual level phenomena. In this paper, we will review the developments that have given rise to this requirement, and explain how we have constructed a database of community characteristics at a postcode level. We shall then review applications of this type of data, and the opportunities for both aggregation and extension.
