5. Example – Quick Profile • Enter a postcode in the “quick profile” to provide a simple area profile e.g. IV2 3SY

7. Example – Standard Reporter • Enter a postcode in the “quick profile” to provide a simple area profile e.g. IV2 3SY • Use the Data Zone code to find out more about this particular postcode area through the “area profile”.

10. Example – Standard Reporter • Enter a postcode in the “quick profile” to provide a simple area profile e.g. IV2 3SY • Use the Data Zone code to find out more about this particular postcode area through the “area profile”. • Next we might want to compare this Data Zone with another nearby or compare it to a higher level of geography (e.g. intermediate geography), which can be done using the “compare 2 areas” option

12. Example – Standard Reporter • Enter a postcode in the “quick profile” to provide a simple area profile e.g. IV2 3SY • Use the Data Zone code to find out more about this particular postcode area through the “area profile”. • Next we might want to compare this Data Zone with another nearby or compare it to a higher level of geography (e.g. intermediate geography), which can be done using the “compare 2 areas” option • We can also look at variation across areas, for example by comparing crime rates across all the Data Zones within the constituency of Inverness East, Nairn and Lochaber

14. Example – Advanced Reporter • More complex tables, charts and maps can be produced using the “Advanced Reporter” • Following our example, we might want to look at Intermediate Geography by Local Authority (as this provides more detailed crime data)

16. Example – Advanced Reporter • More complex tables, charts and maps can be produced using the “Advanced Reporter” • Following our example, we might want to look at Intermediate Geography by Local Authority (as this provides more detailed crime data) • We can then choose the data we want to include in our tables, for example crime data and health data • These data can then be downloaded and added to other datasets, for example, a local population survey including questions on crime and substance use issues. • We can also produce simple maps that contrast the concentration of crime rates (e.g. drug offences) with other data (e.g. hospital admissions for drug misuse)
