Geodemographic classifications turn complex population data into clear, actionable insights for policy, research, and commercial use. In this hands-on workshop, we will demonstrate how to build a bespoke geodemographic classification from UK census data using the Python data science stack. Participants will be guided through sourcing and preparing open data, selecting relevant variables, and clustering communities in ways that can be tailored to specific needs. We will also explore how recent advances in machine learning and AI can help uncover hidden structure in the data and reduce the technical burden of creating geodemographics. By the end of the session, you will have the tools and workflow needed to design your own open, reproducible geodemographic classifications.

Connect with developers and integrators shaping the future of open geospatial technologies

Supercharge your apps and integrations with open geospatial technologies and standards for the built and natural environment—and beyond.

The conference provides a forum for original research contributions covering all conceptual, design, and implementation aspects of geospatial data ranging from applications, user interfaces, and visualization to data storage and query processing and indexing.

The conference focuses both on the developments in methodology and the applications of methods for spatial and spatio-temporal data in public health. The growth in availability of spatially references data of both infectious and non-infectious diseases is increasing the demand for spatial and spatio-temporal analyses. Both GIS technology and spatial statistics are fundamental in the analysis of this data, and the field's methods are quickly expanding.
