Choose one of the options at the top to see pins showing the LSOA (lower layer supper output areas - statistical areas containing between 1000 and 3000 people and between 400 and 1200 households, see here . These are updated after each census to reflect changes in population, the numbers E0101**** are from the 2001 census and mostly exist in the 2011 census, but 25 extra areas E0103**** have been added due to changes since 2001.

Pins are coloured according to the relevant value eg gas consumption, with red being the highest followed by yellow, green, blue and purple. If you click on a pin you will see the data associated with that area, and the relevant measure will be added to the bar chart at the bottom left of the map. Changing metric, or selecting the same metric again, will clear the chart.

Energy consumption figures (gas,elec,total) are the average kilowatt hours per year in that area per supply meter, which will generally be per household. These are derived from Costs are in pounds per year.

Fuel poverty data comes from here , but it is from 2010 so some areas (E0103*) are not explicitly covered as they were split after 2011 census, these have been give the value assigned to the pre-split area.
