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 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.
Local Health was previously published by Public Health England. Public Health England ceased to exist on the 30 September 2021. The responsibility for Local Health transferred to the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID).
Local Health is available on OHID Fingertips.
