The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has published the next phase of Census 2021 topic summaries for England and Wales looking at health, disability, and unpaid care. There is a bulletin for each of these topics.
It includes univariate data (one variable only) down to Output Area (OA) level, where possible. This release also includes data for ward-level geographies for a number of topic summary datasets. Further ward data will be published on 30 January. Multivariate data (more than one variable) will be released in early 2023.
What’s included in the Census 2021 results about health, disability and unpaid care?
The Census 2021 results about health, disability and unpaid care include data about people’s general health across England and Wales.
This data answers questions like:
- how many people in England and Wales described their general health as “Very good” or “Good”?
- which areas had the highest numbers of people with “Bad” and “Very bad” health?
- how many people were identified as disabled?
- how many unpaid carers were there in England and Wales?
- how did age-standardised health outcomes compare across England and Wales from 2011?
Health, disability and the provision of unpaid care is closely related to age since health generally declines as people get older.
To overcome this, we’ve age-standardised the data. This makes it easier to compare the data across age groups, over time and between different geographic areas because it accounts for differences in the population size and age structure. To find out more, read our blog Age standardising data: What does this mean and why does it matter? on the ONS website.
