Office-based employment leads the industry table. The matching barrier, when there is one, is a private office or multi-storey car park, not a logistics boom.

Detached houses lead the housing mix, so communal booms are less common than on flatted estates. We do not invent a podium that the census says is not the main housing form.

Counts are rounded to the nearest 5 and very small cells may have been suppressed by ONS. A barrier survey is on application and only for a private lane.

This readout does not invent a business park. Other settlements with their own barrier page in East of England include Hoddesdon, Houghton Regis, Huntingdon.
