Data that includes geographical location information (e.g by postcode, grid reference, address etc) is very common in administrative data sets. A basic way to start visualising and analysing this data is to put it on a map. There are a range of mapping tools available. One of the most widely used is CartoBD.  The website of CartoDB has a number of tutorials which you might wish to take. This will be relevant to the future modules on Visualisation and on Community Participation
