Use of comparators: For all the data presented in this Dashboard, comparators are provided to add context to the values shown for Central Bedfordshire. In all cases an overall average for England is shown and, wherever possible, values for the Deprivation Decile are also provided. This allows for comparison with other local authorities with similar levels of deprivation. If data is not available for the Deprivation Decile, Regional values are shown instead.

Please note: The National and Council data reflect the 2021 Census. Ward level data from the 2021 Census is not yet available and therefore these profiles use the 2011 Census estimates. Therefore the sum of wards does not equal the Central Bedfordshire total. These profiles will be updated as and when the data becomes available.

Interrogate nationally available data

Most of the data featured in the Dashboard are available through Fingertips, the Public Health data tool provided by the Office for Health Improvement & Disparities. Each link will take you to the trend data for Central Bedfordshire for that indicator and will open in a new window. You can then chose what other views you would like including by comparator areas and inequalities. For more information on how to use Fingertips, see the user guide.
