Place intelligence for property and location products.

OneGoodArea is the data layer for property and location products. Ask it about any place in England, Wales or Scotland and get back what the area is like, a score for your use case, and an alert when it changes. You build the product. We keep the data right.

Your product knows the property. The place around it comes from a dozen publishers, and someone has to keep it joined and current.

The platform

One layer underneath, four products on top. Every product reads the same record of every place.

Sources
12 publishers
Official releases, read as each publisher publishes them.
Identity
52,025 places
One permanent ID per place. Postcodes, old and new census codes resolve to it.
Store
6M observations
Every value kept with its source, period and confidence.
Engine
Methodology 1.12.5
Deterministic formulas, with the version on every response.

Four products read one layer: the same sources, the same identity for every place, the same store and the same engine.

Who builds on it

Built for teams that ship property and location products. Four kinds of product build on the same layer.

Put the structural picture beside your own data.

Footfall, mobility, address and geospatial companies already know how places perform or where things are. OneGoodArea adds what each place is, on one schema across Great Britain, licensed to go inside what you sell.

Every neighbourhood

43,064 neighbourhoods in England, Wales and Scotland, each with a permanent ID your records can key on.

Similar places and outliers

Find the neighbourhoods most like a site you know, or the ones moving unlike their peers.

Licensed to redistribute

A data partnership adds redistribution rights, so the layer can ship inside your product.
