Technical report for Area classification for output areas
A supporting technical report has been produced, to explain how the output area classification has been created.
As part of the process of generating the classification names were used to summarise and validate the cluster groups.
As part of reviewing the classification against the National Statistics Code of Practice, the National Statistician decided that such names could be seen as 'labelling' or stereotyping people resident in output areas within each cluster. Given the small population size of output areas, it was decided that this was not appropriate for a National Statistics product.
