Interactive map of the geography of creativity in the UK

Select a sub-sector and metric and hover over areas to see how it ranks against the rest of the UK.

The shade of an area indicates its relative specialisation in the selected sector and variable.

​The figures for creative sub-sectors are for 2011-14, and for creative industries for 2014. The geographies used are 2011 Travel To Work Areas capturing local labour markets.

The maps were produced by James Gardiner using Leaflet.js, based on a data analysis by Juan Mateos-Garcia.
