The evidence layer for local decisions

Ezra publishes official statistics for named places in Dorset and Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. Every figure says which area it describes, which period it covers and who published it.

For example:

Who it is for

Parish and town councils, council officers, community groups and anyone writing a funding bid or a consultation response who needs a figure they can cite.

Where boundaries do not line up

When a published area reaches beyond a place, Ezra gives the least and the most the figure could be, rather than a guess.

Every source we’re licensed to publish — and a list of the ones we aren’t. Ezra publishes 17 sources from 14 publishers, and lists the two it does not publish, with the reason.

Free to read, without an account.

Ezra covers 205 places in Dorset and six in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. It has not collected figures for places anywhere else.

The figures are official statistics. Ezra is not an official body, and no publisher endorses it.
