The Church of England has mapped data from the Census and government statistics onto parish boundaries to produce parish-level census and deprivation information.
These documents are ideal for informing mission work within your communities.
They will also be very useful when drawing up parish profiles during vacancies and pose a number of questions which could be used as the basis of discussion at PCC meetings or meetings of mission groups.
Parish statistics and further resources are available from the National Church's Research and Statistics team using the links below.
