Local health: public health data for small areas

OHID's local health tool presents data on health and the wider determinants of health for small geographic areas.

The local health tool on Fingertips presents data for middle super output areas (MSOAs), local authorities and England as a whole.

It contains indicators related to:

  • population and demographic factors
  • wider determinants of health
  • health outcomes

Local health is a collection of public health indicators presented at small geographical areas. By breaking the data down to small areas, hidden inequalities can be highlighted. The tool enables comparison between small and large areas for a single point in time.
