Explore: Which towns attract people with advanced education?

A street scene of a house, a city and a university, with people in each location.

Our new interactive tool lets you discover how many young people from your nearest town or city got advanced qualifications, and whether they went on to live locally or move away.

This accompanies an article looking at the movement of young people after education, which found that those with graduate qualifications tended to move away from small towns and rural locations to live and work in larger towns and cities.

These trends can give an insight into the labour market resources a town may or may not have.
