Area type

Census 2021 statistics are published for a number of different geographies. These can be large, for example the whole of England, or small, for example an output area (OA), the lowest level of geography for which statistics are produced.

For higher levels of geography, more detailed statistics can be produced. When a lower level of geography is used, such as output areas (which have a minimum of 100 persons), the statistics produced have less detail. This is to protect the confidentiality of people and ensure that individuals or their characteristics cannot be identified.

Lower tier local authorities

Lower tier local authorities provide a range of local services. There are 309 lower tier local authorities in England made up of 181 non-metropolitan districts, 59 unitary authorities, 36 metropolitan districts and 33 London boroughs (including City of London). In Wales there are 22 local authorities made up of 22 unitary authorities.

Coverage

Census 2021 statistics are published for the whole of England and Wales. However, you can choose to filter areas by:

• country - for example, Wales
• region - for example, London
• local authority - for example, Cornwall
• health area – for example, Clinical Commissioning Group
• statistical area - for example, MSOA or LSOA

Method used to travel to workplace

A person's place of work and their method of travel to work. This is the 2001 method of producing travel to work variables.

"Work mainly from home" applies to someone who indicated their place of work as their home address and travelled to work by driving a car or van, for example visiting clients.

Distance travelled to work

The distance, in kilometres, between a person's residential postcode and their workplace postcode measured in a straight line. A distance travelled of 0.1km indicates that the workplace postcode is the same as the residential postcode. Distances over 1200km are treated as invalid, and an imputed or estimated value is added.

“Work mainly at or from home” is made up of those that ticked either the "Mainly work at or from home" box for the address of workplace question, or the “Work mainly at or from home” box for the method of travel to work question.

Distance is calculated as the straight line distance between the enumeration postcode and the workplace postcode.

Combine this variable with “Economic activity status” to identify those in employment at the time of the census.

This dataset was used in my dissertation project to find the best time to buy the airline ticket based on number of days before departure date which was inspired by the work of Domínguez-Menchero et al (2014) '*Optimal purchase timing in the airline market*'.

The dataset was scraping using Selenium and BeatifulSoup python package. It contains direct flight data of flights from London to Bangkok, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul, and Singapore. The data were gathered 30 days and 66 days before the departure date consisting of route, airline name, direct flight type, departure date, departure date (format), search date, days before departure, ticket price, price on departure date, saving rate, and day of week.

London's Airbnb

Airbnb listings in London

About this dataset

This dataset provides information on Airbnbs in London. Each row represents one listing, and there are a variety of columns with information on the listing, such as the name, host, price, etc.

This dataset could be used to study patterns in Airbnb pricing, to understand how Airbnbs are being used in London, or to compare different neighborhoods in London

How to use the dataset

If you're looking for information on Airbnbs in London, this dataset is a great place to start. It provides information on the listings and reviews for Airbnb in the city of London.

Airbnb is a popular vacation rental platform that allows travelers to find and book accommodations around the world. With over 3 million listings in more than 65,000 cities, Airbnb has something for everyone.

London is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, and Airbnb offers a unique way to experience the city. With so many different neighborhoods to choose from, there's an Airbnb listing for everyone.

This dataset includes information on the listing price, minimum nights required, number of reviews, and more. With this data, you can begin to understand how people are using Airbnb in London and what factors affect pricing. So whether you're looking for a place to stay during your next trip or just curious about how Airbnb is being used in different cities, this dataset is for you!

Research Ideas

• If there's a relationship between the price per listing and how long it is available on Airbnb, this could be used to recommend lower prices for listings that are unlikely to stay booked for very long periods of time.
• There might be a relationship between the number of reviews per month and the calculated host listings count. If there is, this information could be used to help improve customer satisfaction by either recommending that hosts with lots of listings receive more reviews or that they stagger their listing availabilities so that they can provide better service.
• The neighbourhood data could be used to cluster listings into areas with similar characteristics, which would then allow customers to easily find similar listings in different areas of the city based on their preferences

Context

Since 2008, guests and hosts have used Airbnb to expand on traveling possibilities and present more unique, personalized way of experiencing the world. This dataset describes the listing activity and metrics in London, Dubai, San Francisco, Tokyo, Sydney, Miami, and Toronto in 2023. The data is owned by Airbtics.

Airbtics is a short-term rental data & analytics company monitoring 20 million listings from various short-term rental booking sites.

Content

This data file includes all needed information to find out more about listings, hosts, geographical availability, necessary metrics, such as last twelve months occupancy rate, daily rate and revenue, to make predictions and draw conclusions.

Acknowledgements

This public dataset is part of Airbnb, and the original source can be found on this website. The data was processed by Airbtics.

Inspiration

How much does a typical 2-bedroom Airbnb listing make compared to a 3-bedroom in London? What is the average occupancy rate of Airbnb listings in London?

Context

I wanted some new and dirty data that hasn't been explored before (to my knowledge) and that might unlock some interesting insights and help me practice data science. London has thousands of event spaces but what drives their prices? Where might you want to open up new event space? What do people look for in event spaces? Can we predict the price of a new event space?

The Tagvenue website had all the data I needed to answer these questions and to provide a raw dataset to clean and analyse. This data includes all event spaces in London (4000+) from the Tagvenue website in November 2021 - you can see the full scraping code and methodology here.

Content

There are 2 datasets, both of which are raw and require cleaning: - tag_venue_space_data.csv: Stores general information on each space, e.g. location, area, capacity, catering details, features etc. One row per event space. - tag_venue_space_prices.csv: Stores price data for each space. The price data is a bit complex, with prices shown for different days of the week and for different time periods e.g. per hour or per day. Each row is one price offering for a single space on a single day of the week. Each space will have many price offerings and thus each space will have many rows in the csv.

"Work mainly from home" applies to someone who indicated their place of work as their home address and travelled to work by driving a car or van, for example visiting clients.

Occupation (current)

Classifies what people aged 16 years and over do as their main job. Their job title or details of activities they do in their job and any supervisory or management responsibilities form this classification. This information is used to code responses to an occupation using the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) 2020.

It classifies people who were in employment between 15 March and 21 March 2021, by the SOC code that represents their current occupation.

The lowest level of detail available is the four-digit SOC code which includes all codes in three, two and one digit SOC code levels.

Car or van availability

The number of cars or vans owned or available for use by household members.

Vehicles included:
