Immigration consistently polls as one of the most important issues facing the UK in 2015.

The debate about the subject is fraught with misinformation, claims, and counter-claims, however.

How much immigration is there in your area? The Office for National Statistics has produced a tool that allows you to check.

It will also test your perceptions against the actual reality of immigration to your area.

Simply enter your postcode below to begin.

The tool uses the Office for National Statistics dataset "Population by Country of Birth and Nationality" and was built be developers at the government agency.

That set of statistics is updated regularly - the latest figures are from August 2015.

You can try the original version of the tool on the ONS website.
