Small Area Forecasts

Micro-location population and property forecasts

Home: Welcome

Edge Analytics’ small-area forecasting model produces population and housing forecasts for all 35,672 Lower Super Output Areas (LSOA) in England and Wales.

Our unique ‘macro-micro’ forecasting approach brings together local area demographic intelligence with site-level housing development data, drawn from the Edge Analytics Consilium Local Plan Housing database, which contains details of planned housing growth for all Local Planning Authorities (LPA) in Great Britain. 

In the ‘Housing Plan’ scenario, updated every 6 months, the impacts of planned housing development on local-area demographics are modelled. This scenario is benchmarked against the latest official trend projection from ONS. 

The Housing Plan scenario can be used in conjunction with housing needs and land supply evidence from the Consilium Local Plan database to identify potential housing growth ‘hot-spots’ across Great Britain, helping to inform business and growth strategies.
