Dorset Council, GB creates a data model for estimating cost of living impacts on local households

Dorset Council, GB Cost of Living Impacts Model Households

Complete

The Microsoft Power BI tool synthesizes inflation data from the national government, income data from Experian, and social media sentiment analysis. This model supports council-wide and postcode-level supports for families struggling with inflation. Council officials first deployed the internal tool in evaluating how a national energy price cap of £2,500 affected local residents. Dorset Council will continue to add data inputs for more accurate predictions of economic conditions.
