CAMEO Unemployment
A unique postcode classification for assessing economic inactivity, a key factor influencing on the relative wealth of an area and levels of economic hardship.
- Built using the latest available Government Unemployment Registers.
- Built using both long and short term unemployment rates across male and female claimants gathered at super output area level – enables users to identify unemployment in isolation as a key differentiator.
- As up-to-date and accurate as is possible.
- A true evaluation of the unemployment rate and the likely effect on the local economy.
- Groups all UK postcodes into 20 distinct unemployment groups which band neighbourhoods by two key variables:
- The percentage of unemployed households within a postcode
- The index of unemployed households within a postcode when compared to the national average
