  3. Cat population per postcode district

Cat population per postcode district

Summary

This dataset is a modelled dataset, describing the predicted population of cats per postcode district (e.g. YO41). This dataset gives the mean estimate for population for each district, and was generated as part of the delivery of commissioned research. The data contained within this dataset are modelled figures, based on national estimates for pet population, and available information on Veterinary activity across GB. The data are accurate as of 01/01/2015. The data provided are summarised to the postcode district level. Further information on this research is available in a research publication by James Aegerter, David Fouracre & Graham C. Smith, discussing the structure and density of pet cat and dog populations across Great Britain.

Lineage

Data have been generated using cat and dog population estimates described in Murray et al 2015 (Assessing changes in the UK pet cat and dog populations: numbers and household ownership), information on veterinary practise activity provided by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, and postcode information supplied by Ordnance Survey, in order to model a smoothed estimate of pet population at varying geographic scales. Detailed methodologies are available in an associated published paper.
