Let us continue examining UK census 2011 data set (see the previous post). This time the app uses scatter plots, which allow us to see whether some socio-demographic parameters are correlated to other socio-demographic parameters. While some of such findings are just spurious correlations, other times some other explanation could easily be found.

Once again we use UK census 2011 data set, which is freely from NOMIS website). Here we continue using Tables KS201EW, KS209EW, KS301EW, KS402EW and QS607EW. Our geographical resolution being postal areas.

After this quick introduction we invite you to explore the data set from the scatter plot perspective using the interactive app below.
