In 2007 we tried a new method of displaying the State of the Region datasets through InstantAtlas.
This provides a geographical display of the main datasets to help understanding of how the separate issues affect the region and also to compare the West Midlands' position with the rest of England.
The set of maps below are loosely grouped under the theme business & economy. Maps on registrations, VAT, GVA, and cultural economy are included. Click a link in the table to view each map.
