Cumbria Atlas - Instant Atlas

Welcome to the Cumbria Atlas page. The Cumbria Atlas consists of a series of three interactive geographical tools which enable users to view local data sets and indicators in a user-friendly format combining maps, tables and charts. The tools also offer users the facility to make comparisons with national data and indicators. The aim of the Cumbria Atlas is to enable users to better understand the characteristics and needs of areas across the county. 

The first of the three Cumbria Atlas tools is presented in a 'Single Map' format. The single-map format allows users to select a local data set and compare areas across the county in relation to that data set. The second of the three tools is presented in a 'Double Map' format - which allows users to select two local data sets and compare areas across the county in relation to both data sets, as well as considering the relationship between the two data sets. The third and final tool is presented in the 'Area Profiler' format. This format allows users to select areas within the county and view all data sets relating to those areas.
