💻 Have you ever planned a move within the UK and wondered if your new location would have fast enough broadband to support your work-from-home setup or other online needs? 📱 In our latest geovisualisation, Oliver O'Brien, Senior Research Associate at University College London (UCL), discusses the Broadband Speed and Ultrafast Availability data shown on the ESRC Consumer Data Research Centre (CDRC) interactive mapping website. 🌐 The interactive map highlights the differences in access to high-speed broadband for both residential and business premises across the UK. It also shows the changes in average speeds and ultrafast access over the past few years. 1️⃣ In the first example below, the map displays the average wired broadband download speeds for residential and business addresses in Bournemouth and its surrounding areas for 2022. The map uses a gradient from dark pink to dark green, where dark pink indicates speeds below 10 Mbps, and dark green represents speeds over 150 Mbps. 2️⃣ In the second example, the map shows the estimated proportion of residential and business addresses in New Milton, Hampshire, with access to ultrafast broadband in 2022. It highlights significant differences within the area, with some regions fully covered while others lack any ultrafast service. 👉 To learn more about the interactive map and its impact on academic research and other CDRC-produced data products, read the full write-up here: https://lnkd.in/eXnznGTK #Geovisualisation #Mapping

The COVID-19 pandemic brought about significant changes in the way we travel. As lockdowns and restrictions were implemented, there was a decline in public transport demand throughout the UK. A recent study explored the travel patterns for senior citizens during this period, using smart card data from CDRC. The aim was to identify those who heavily relied on public transport for essential activities, especially in areas with low public transport accessibility. #covidresearch #elderly #mobility #publictransport #bus
