"Quick Maps" gives you access to a range of maps which display data on various themes (e.g. Health, Housing). Data on Quick Maps is analysed at one or more geographical levels, such as Ward or Super Output Area.

As well as providing maps, Quick Maps also shows bar charts and time-series graphs on the same user-friendly screen.

"Maps & Stats" is a web-based Geographical Information System (GIS). It allows you to analyse data in more detail than Quick Maps, but may take a little more time to master.

The key benefit of Maps & Stats is that you can use it to find statistics for any area you choose - you are not restricted to using predefined boundaries like Wards. Maps & Stats also has the ability to overlay different datasets on one map.

We are currently going through a transitional phase of transferring all of our data and information to the West Yorkshire Observatory's Bradford Mini-site. Throughout the upcoming months we will add more data and tools to help you understand Bradford.
