Base Data

A Report by Worcestershire Community FoundationOctober 2017

Introduction

This document sets out the base data used in the Vital Signs document.

It does not attempt to be an encyclopaedic document and it could be argued that the data sets used are too partisan, however given the fact that this is Worcestershire Community Foundation’s first Vital Signs research and given the resources available it is hoped that any omissions of data which could have been more revealing will be forgiven. Indeed suggestions for alternative or additional data sets are most welcome and will advise the next Vital Signs.

For convenience data are divided into the following categories:Work and EmploymentLocal EconomyHealthy LivingEnvironmentSafety and CrimeArts, Culture and HeritageHousing and HomelessnessEducation and LearningStronger CommunitiesFairness

Special noteThe data available on arts, culture and heritage is very limited and means that it is difficult to give a coherent account of the situation in Worcestershire. There would be merit in a serious study in this area but it seems unlikely that funding for such work would be available.
