Mashups #1

This is a mashup based on the Hackney bike shops map, combined with Index of Multiple Deprivation data (IMD, Crown Copyright 2007), and 2001 Census Output Area Boundary data (Crown Copyright 2003).

It’s a first attempt, so it’s just a flat jpeg and there is no legend – the darker green areas are the areas with higher levels of deprivation (according to the IMD). It shows a cluster of bike shops around the relatively better off Stoke Newington area to the Northwest of the borough. There’s also quite a line of bike shops along the South of the borough, which I guess may be to do with the workplaces in the Shoreditch area and the busy commuter route along the Hackney Road.
