The product is now\u00a0owned and maintained\u00a0by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetechpartnership.com\/\">The Tech Partnership,<\/a> a network of employers collaborating to create the skills needed for the UK digital economy.<\/p>\n<p>Using open source data provided by leading agencies including the Office for National Statistics, Ofcom and HM Revenue and Customs along with insight into basic digital skills in association with Lloyds Bank Group, the heatmap ranks the likelihood of digital exclusion on a 9-point scale, with 9 being the highest likelihood of digital exclusion.<\/p>\n<p>For <a href=\"http:\/\/heatmap.thetechpartnership.com\/?area=South%20Gloucestershire&amp;metric=total\">South Gloucestershire the map predicts the likelihood of digital exclusion to be low<\/a>, based on a combination of digital and social metrics. These digital metrics include infrastructure, the number of people who have never been online, basic digital skills and how those skills are used. The social metrics include age, education, income and health. \u00a0Many of these metrics can also be viewed on their own individual heatmaps.<\/p>\n<p>The content of the heatmap tool is\u00a0to be updated very shortly using 11 updated data sets so watch this space.
