How WELL do you know YOUR area?

 

Seven questions that will tell you how well you know your local area

 

This interactive quiz by the data visualisation centre at the Office for National Statistics (ONS) tests your demographic knowledge about where you live. Pop in your postcode and answer the questions to see if you're a local expert - you might be surprised by what you find out.

 

Who made this? The ONS Data Visualisation Centre

 

My local knowledge rating of Belmont 59%

Not bad, but room for improvement

 

I wonder how well our councillors would do?

[Cambo]

I gave it a go & scored 49% certainly room for me to improve my local knowledge!!

[Denise Lloyd]

I got 56% room for improvement it was home ownership and religion that did for me 

[dippyhippy]

Snap Denise!

 

I also scored 56%!

 

And religion played a big part in my low score........I estimated 26% of folks would have ticked the Christianity box, and for my area it was a whopping 64%

 

I was quite surprised!

[Roger]

I did this a tiny bit earlier for where I live 

 

 

Aylestone Ward ... With helpful map to interpret the stats ... Which the census says is 1% Muslim ... 28% own/mortgage the property ... 

[Slim]

Oh dear. 39% for me on questions about 3 Elms Ward. Religion did it for me as well along with the other 6 questions. Ah well, best visit the actual 3 Elms and brush up on the clientele.

40% for me in Central Ward - in my defence it does cover the City Centre, which does skew the number of dwellings, but I should have done better ...
