1. Introduction
Knowing East Devon – A Place and People Profile has been created to give the council, local people and organisations involved in East Devon a better understanding of the district. The information in the report will help to inform our strategic and operational planning and target setting and our equalities agenda and assessments.
The report is structured in three sections: place, people and economy. These contain a wide array of information and data from a range of sources including the Census 2011, Office of National Statistics, East Devon Health profile and Place Analytics. Place Analytics provide a geographical perspective on economic, social and environmental change through analysis of national and local data.
