The Acorn geodemographic classification is a long-running classification developed by CACI Limited. Whilst it is refreshed with new data every year the structure does not change outside of the decennial rebuild. The current classification groups the entire United Kingdom population into six categories, 18 groups and 62 types. By analysing significant social factors and consumer behaviour, it provides precise information and enables an in-depth understanding of the different types of consumers in every part of the country. These data are available at unit postcode level. Further information may be found on the CACI ACORN website.Please note the data are temporarily unavailable to download.
