Knowing your community
Information is gathered about our communities from many sources, the most well-known of which is the National Census. Based on this information, and working with Dorset County Council, Purbeck District Council has been able to produce profiles of the district.
These profiles give a variety of useful information, including population numbers, birth and death rates, details about the local economy and academic achievements in our schools. They allow local service providers to better understand the local community and to meet people's needs.
