JICPOPS stands for the Joint Industry Committee for Population
Standards and is supported by the advertising industry including the
Institute of Practitioners in Advertising, The Incorporated Society of
British Advertisers, JICREG, POSTAR, RAJAR, BARB and NRS Ltd.
JICPOPS was set up in 1998 to ensure there are compatible population and
household universes for British media research currencies - the NRS, BARB,
JICREG, POSTAR, RAJAR and so on. Their areas are grossed up from 9000+
postcode sectors and there are 16 age within sex counts for each, as well
as households. The figures are updated annually in July. 2002 is the first year for which counts have been produced for the whole of the UK (ie including Northern Ireland).
The data is compiled under the eagle eye of the JICPOPS technical
committee by two companies working together, CACI and Experian,
both of which sell their own and JICPOPS data. Click on their logos to access further information from their web sites.
