Cambridgeshire Observatory Research

This Cambridgeshire Observatory Research website provides a gateway to research and data about the county of Cambridgeshire in the East of England. It is for individuals and organisations interested in discovering more about the sub-region and its social, economic and environmental development. While the Cambridgeshire Observatory site concentrates on data and thematic mapping analysis, the research site provides further exploration of data through the use of reports and data analysis. For more information please visit the site.

Research Group services

As well as maintaining the Cambridgeshire Observatory the County Council's Research Group carries out extensive research into all aspects of the County.

The work of the Research Group is available to outside agencies and individuals. The group produces reports on economic and demographic topics, carries out surveys, mapping and geographic analysis and provides advice on research methods. Further to this the group can be commissioned to run context specific reports on subjects including local business and census returns.

Subjects covered by the team includes:

  • Population and housing
  • The Labour market and economy
  • Crime
  • Deprivation and health inequalities
  • 2001 Census data

For information on these subjects and others please visit the research group pages.
