Minimise risks to your employees, assets and the general
public by estimating
the population of any UK location at any time of day or
night.
The National Population Database
is a unique Geographical Information System (GIS) dataset
that enables the estimation of residents, workers and other
population types in any location, down to individual building
level, in Great Britain.
The NPD uses the latest and most accurate data available, and
provides unmatched levels of granularity.

An
invaluable risk management tool for businesses with UK-wide
operations
The NPD can be used to assess the risk to people from major
hazards:
- to minimise the risk associated with major building works of
infrastructure upgrades by construction or utilities companies
- to enable telecoms providers to optimally position mobile
communications masts, thereby ensuring maximum coverage in any
given location
- to provide traffic management modelling capabilities for
transport companies
- to give businesses confidence in their emergency resilience or
disaster recovery planning
Population data trusted by government
The NPD's dataset is used by the UK government's 'Resilience
Direct' platform. This secure online network for sharing real time
information enables emergency services to deliver an efficient and
co-ordinated response in situations that impact civil
protection.
