1. Using SNAPSHOT to build up a picture of audiences
SNAPSHOT data provides an excellent way to compare arts attendance in different areas. In this example we show how to use the CultureMap SNAPSHOT penetration layer and sub layers.
2. Audience statistics from CIPFA
The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accounting (CIPFA) statistics can be used to build up a picture of audience attendance and satisfaction. The traditional datasets focus on Library use but there is a new cultural dataset which is also included in CultureMap.
3. Tourism visits
These statistics are taken from the Local Area Tourism Impact Model reports supplied by the LDA and provide a London wide comparison at Local Authority level.

1. Using Indices of Multiple Deprivation
This example shows how CultureMap can be used to map both overall IMD score and IMD sub categories. It also shows how to use the IMD ‘change’ variable that maps differences between 2004 and 2007 data.
2. A CENSUS summary
CultureMap contains a large number of Census variables and sub layers and these can be used to build a detailed summary for a specific area.
3. Using MOSAIC
Mosaic is a powerful geo-demographic classification system that enables users to profile different areas and understand how the resident’s motivations, lifestyles and behaviors vary. CultureMap contains layers for each of the Mosaic Groups.
