Summary

The page gives access to the 2021 London Output Area Classification (2021 LOAC), a new free and open source geodemographic classification for London. Based on 2021 census data it uses nearly 70 measures to classify each of more than 26,000 output areas in London within a hierarchical structure. Here we present a lookup table of the LOAC, descriptions of the 7 supergroups and 16 groups, and profiles of each borough.
