Tameside statistics and open data

A stats hub for population, economy, education, crime, health and local datasets.

Verified local statistics and open-data coverage notes for Tameside. Figures on this page are deliberately limited to sourced facts: ONS Census 2021 borough indicators plus counts from official datasets already imported into tameside.online.

Use these as a starting point for local context, not as a complete statistical profile. Future additions should keep the same standard: exact source name, source URL, source date and clear notes about rounding or coverage.
