Description
Data Zone centroids are point features that represent the population weighted centre of Data Zones – the key geography for the dissemination of small area statistics in Scotland. These centroids are used to link Data Zones to other higher level geographies and produce a 'best-fit' match. Data Zones can then be aggregated to approximate this larger area of interest or higher level geography for which official statistics might not otherwise be available. Data Zones also represent a relatively stable geography that can be used to analyse change over time, with changes only occurring after a Census. Following the update to Data Zones using 2022 Census data, there are now 7,392 Data Zones covering the whole of Scotland.
