Data description (abstract)
Understanding Society is a large representative household panel study for the UK. The Study follows the same 40,000 households over time, beginning in 2009 and providing a detailed picture of how people’s lives are changing. One of the many innovative features of Understanding Society is that a great deal of information about neighbourhoods can be used alongside the individual and household-level information collected in the Study, making it a useful study for neighbourhood effects analyses. In a recent paper (Knies, 2017) we explored four Understanding Society data products, based on four different types of rural-urban/neighbourhood classifications, to throw light on how much heterogeneity in neighbourhood contexts is captured in the first waves of Understanding Society, including change in neighbourhood contexts. This Online Supplement presents additional tables to Knies (2017).

Data was used from the first five waves of Understanding Society (University of Essex. Institute for Social and Economic Research, 2015a), and linked it with information from four related data products that provide qualitative information about the types of neighbourhood people live in. The four neighbourhood classifications used are:
• 2001 Census Rural-urban classification
• 2001 Census Output Area Classification (OAC)
• ACORN 2013 classification
• MOSAIC UK 2009 classification |
