	Sport England Market Segmentation Tool

			Why do some people play sport? Why do some simply not want to join in? New for 2011 Sport England have developed an interactive web tool to analyse segment population and their characteristics at different geographic levels. Splitting the population into 19 segments or Pen portraits you can find out what people's sporting habits are in a particular street, community, local authority or region. For instance in Allerdale, Philip's are the segment most wanting to play Badminton as opposed to Cricket where Tim's are the segment most wanting to participate.
