Data Tools
Helping you use data to better understand your local context and the people who live within it.
As we seek to be Together in Christ, Sharing Hope across our communities, these resources are designed to support you in blessing the 1.5 million people who live in the Diocese of Chester.
We are developing a range of interactive tools that will help you explore key datasets and gain insights into the population of your parish. These tools allow you to visualize information on a map, making it easier to identify opportunities for outreach, mission, and engagement.
