Boundary-Line

Abstract

For academics or policy-makers, Boundary-Line brings the statistics in your reports to life. It lets you show differences between regions or councils using easy-to-read shaded maps. Monitoring outcomes by area is key for public bodies. Boundary-Line gives you a robust analytical framework to ensure the right communities get the right resources. When you're consulting on updating boundaries to take account of population change, Boundary-Line lets you show on a map where the line's being drawn, right down to the level of individual properties. AddressBase Premiumâ„¢ contains current properties and addresses sourced from local authorities, Ordnance Survey and Royal Mail matched to the Unique Property Reference Number. Boundary-Line is a specialist 1:10 000 scale boundaries dataset.
