The Index stands out from others by evaluating the growth of cities in an inclusive way, looking beyond economic success and taking into account the well-being of the cities' residents.
- Coventry ranks eighth out of the Index's 42 UK cities, closely following Milton Keynes and Cambridge.
- Compared to other cities in the the Index, Coventry's strengths include its unemployment rate, income distribution, and commute time to work.

Public Health England updated the indicators for their framework in November 2017. Their report highlights 38 indicator updates and 5 changes in methodology.
Amongst the updated indicators, here are some key findings for Coventry:
- Fuel poverty in Coventry, which counts the households that can afford sufficient heating, has dropped since the count started in 2011. However, 2015 figures increased slightly from that of 2014, and remains higher than national average.
- For Coventry, both suicide rate and the number of deaths from drug misuse are not significantly different from England's average.
