### ADR - 012: Inferring LA from postcode |
||||
|
||||
We use ONS data to infer local authority from postcode in the property information section. |
||||
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) publishes the National Statistics |
||||
Postcode Lookup (NSPL) and ONS Postcode Directory (ONSPD) datasets, |
||||
which may be used to find a local authority district for a postcode when compiling statistics. |
||||
|
||||
We're using postcodes.io API with postcodes_io gem. |
||||
Postcodes.io uses OS and ONS data which is updated as soon as new data becomes available. |
||||
|
||||
We are not using OS places API due to the lack of data. |
||||
Closest datapoint to LA in OS places api is ADMINISTRATIVE_AREA which does not always match with local authority. |
