Leicester City Council conducted the 2018 Leicester Health and Wellbeing Survey, focusing on questions related to Food and Fuel Poverty. The dataset shows which areas are most affected, with wards having five or fewer responses suppressed to maintain anonymity. It was last updated on 2026-06-17.
Use Cases
- Identify geographic hotspots of fuel poverty based on survey responses.
- Analyze correlations between food poverty and other wellbeing indicators.
- Support local policy and resource allocation decisions based on ward-level deprivation data.
- Compare socioeconomic conditions across different administrative areas within Leicester.
Strengths
- Data includes specific suppression rules (wards with ≤5 responses) to protect respondent anonymity.
- Focuses on two critical and interlinked dimensions of deprivation: food and fuel poverty.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to a single city survey.
