Area Profiles

An Area Profile provides a rich picture of the quality of life and public services in your local area.

The following pages provide you with comprehensive guidance on how to create an Area Profile. They also provide a wide range of data and assessments about your area and how it compares to others.

Area profiling will be particularly helpful to councils and their partners in Local Strategic Partnerships (LSPs) and to central government and national agencies.

If this is your first visit then find out more about Area Profiles and why you should create one.

Alternatively:

• Find out how to build an Area Profile
• Find out more about your local area
• Or, to view the data profile around the four blocks of Local Area Agreements.

You may also find it useful to check out the Local Authority Health Profiles on the Department of Health website. These are produced by Public Health Observatories to show the health of people in local authorities across England - see our links page for more info.
