The availability of photometric and astrometric star counts on large fields well distributed in the Galaxy allows us to measure the characteristics of the thick disc population. We use a total of 19 data sets in UBV towards a dozen directions in order to measure the scale height, scale length, local density and metallicity of the intermediate population.
