New NI Local Statistics Explorer

Date published: 18 October 2024

NISRA has released a new Northern Ireland Local Statistics Explorer.

The Local Statistics Explorer is a new web application that allows users to explore a wide range of statistics for different areas within Northern Ireland.

It has been designed for councils, community and voluntary organisations, schools, and the public to showcase the statistics for your local area.

Users can tailor the statistics they view by council area, by DEA (district electoral area), or smaller statistical geographies. It offers the ability to search for areas by name, selecting a council from the list, entering a postcode or by clicking on the map.

When zoomed in to a specific area, users will see the NI average presented alongside the local statistic to give some context, or users can choose to view the data for NI as a whole.

The Local Statistics Explorer contains data on a variety of themes:

  • People and communities
  • Health and social care
  • Work, pay and benefits
  • Education and skills
  • Environment
  • Crime and justice and
  • Business, economy and trade.

It allows users to access a wide variety of statistics in one place and provides links to source material for further in-depth exploration.

It is a prototype application, we encourage you to explore it and we are interested in your feedback – please complete the the short survey to help us improve the product.
