This website identifies and signposts the datasets available for targeting, monitoring, priority setting and performance management at a neighbourhood level.
The emphasis on evidence-based delivery and decision making means that there is an increased need for detailed information on neighbourhood renewal issues. The Neighbourhood Renewal Analysis Division at the Department for Communities and Local Government commissioned this “Data for Neighbourhood Renewal” project to identify and signpost datasets and resources to help local partnerships target and monitor local programmes.
Note that this website does not hold the actual datasets, instead linking to other websites from which the data is available.
Where do I start?
You can start browsing through the datasets by theme using the links on the left of the page, or find specific datasets using the Advanced Search. There is more background information available from the links at the top of the page, including how to use this website, Floor Target information, frequently asked questions (FAQ), links to relevant websites and project contact details.
Local Information Systems and Analytical tools
Following feedback from users, we now link to a range of Analytical tools.
We also now provide links to Local Information Systems, based on the Local Information Systems: A review of their role, characteristics and benefits report.
Registering for updates
We update this website every couple of weeks, ensuring that all new and updated datasets are signposted. You can now register for the Data Watch email alert, a fortnightly email to keep you up-to-date on data that is being released. Or you can visit our what's new pages to see what we've added to the website.
Your feedback and comments
The project will be updated over time - we would welcome your feedback on the datasets and website, including additional datasets you would like to see highlighted. Please send us any comments.
