Area reports and other data resources
Area reports
The following data resources can be useful to provide a summary of an area’s overall population health. These reports can be used to identify potential topics or themes that may be better, worse, not changing or not improving when compared to England. The JSNA can then be used to focus on these themes or topics to understand these better and what the potential drivers of inequalities are in small areas.
Health trends in England
This report is produced by the Department of Health & Social Care and presents information about the health of people in England and how it has changed over time. Topics presented include risk factors, disease prevalence and outcomes. Data is presented for the whole of England and regions.
Public Health Outcomes Framework District Reports
Produced by the Office of Health Improvements and Disparities (OHID), these reports are available at an upper tier local authority level and district level and provide a concise overview of all the indicators presented in the Public Health Outcomes Framework, comparing each area to England. CIPFA neighbours can also be chosen as a comparator. It is also important to explore the trends for the indicators.
This link allows you to view or download an area’s report and also explore the data
Local Health
Produced by OHID, Local Health allows the user to explore a large number of health-related indicators at a small geographic level. The user can then compare, map, and export the analysis for further use.
Reports can be downloaded for many geographic areas and users can also define their own area profiles by combining small areas. Areas where possible are compared to England.
Reports for the Isle of Wight, and NHS Hampshire, Southampton and Isle of Wight CCG (2021) have been downloaded on 30 July 2024 and will be refreshed January 2025.
Data Resources
This section provides links to other nationally produced data sources which may complement the JSNA.
Public Health Profiles: Fingertips

SHAPE –Strategic Health Asset Planning and Evaluation (SHAPE)
Online and interactive data mapping, analysis and insight tool that supports service planning and estates strategy development.
Lots of data available including demographic factors; environment such as risk of flooding and pollution levels; and access.
Useful for travel time analysis (walk, public transport and drive).

This tool has been developed to present evidence of health inequalities in England. Measures of inequality are provided for key indicators to monitor progress on reducing inequalities within England. For some indicators, inequality measures are also provided within regions, and upper tier local authorities. More local level measures will be added to the dashboard over time.
This tool provides information on the causes of death and age groups that are driving inequalities in life expectancy at local area level. Targeting the causes of death which contribute most to the life expectancy gap should have the biggest impact on reducing inequalities.
SPOTLIGHT: Improving Inclusion Health Outcomes
Spotlight is a data dissemination platform that collates and presents key statistics related to the public health outcomes of Inclusion health groups across the following themes: access to and utilisation of health care; preventative care; health outcomes; and wider determinants of health.
The aim of Spotlight is to improve accessibility and visibility of data and evidence related to inclusion health populations. Data have been selected for inclusion based on validity, reliability, and relevance of the original source.
