Abstract: This paper outlines the creation of the London Output Area Classification (LOAC) from the 2021 Census, set within the broader context of geodemographic classification systems in the United Kingdom. The LOAC 2021 was developed in collaboration with the Greater London Authority (GLA) and offers an enhanced, statistically robust typology adept at capturing the unique spatial, socio-economic and built characteristics of London’s residential neighbourhoods. The paper asserts the critical importance of nuanced, area-specific geodemographic classifications for urban areas with unique geography relative to the national extent.
