This dataset is about Approximated Social Grade. It shows all people in England and Wales aged 16 and over living in households by their approximated social grade. Social Grade is the socio-economic classification used by the Market Research and Marketing Industries, most often in the analysis of spending habits and consumer attitudes. Although it is not possible to allocate Social Grade precisely from information collected by the 2001 Census, the Market Research Society has developed a method for using Census information to provide a good approximation of Social Grade.

Figures have been randomly adjusted to avoid the release of confidential data
