Gross value added (GVA): All industries - Birmingham Wards

This is the total gross value added (GVA) generated from all industries in the area calculated using a balanced approach to GVA. These figures are presented in £ millions at current basic prices. They do not allow for different regional price levels or changes in prices over time (inflation). Balanced GVA estimates are produced by combining the existing income and production GVA estimates using weighted quality metrics. Income GVA estimates are calculated by adding up the income generated by individuals or corporations in the production of goods and services whilst the Production Approach estimates GVA by calculating the total output of goods and services less the value of goods and services used up in the production process. A Balanced approach evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of these two opposing approaches and gives them an appropriate weighting in informing a single ‘balanced’ estimate of GVA. GVA estimates are on a workplace basis, that being they are allocated to where the economic activity took place. Data is [Powered by LG Inform Plus] and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.
No. of minor planning application decisions (PAs only) - Quarterly - WMCA

This is the number of other development planning application decisions (PAs) that have a Planning Performance Agreement (PPAs), Extension of Time (EoT) and/or Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), each financial quarter. PA: This is short for 'planning agreement' which is used in the planning application statistics a shorthand term for covering Planning Performance Agreements. Whilst this indicator focuses on other applications, data is also available broken down by county matter, major and minor applications. The other category includes the following developments types: advertisements, change of use, householder developments, listed building consents (to alter or extend), listed building consents (to demolish), relevant demolition in a conservation area.

Number of doctor/GP locations per 1,000 population - Birmingham Constituency

This metric is derived by the LGA (Local Government Association) from the CQC (Care Quality Commission's) Care Directory file. The file contains a complete list of the places in England where care is regulated by CQC. Using the National Statistics Postcode Lookup, we have counted the number of doctor/GP practices located in an area and then created a crude rate per 1,000 resident population. These services involve doctors working in premises, or a room, designated for medical consultation or minor medical treatments. Often the doctor will complete medical consultations, including physical examination and simple physiological measurement (such as blood pressure tests). They will discuss diagnosis and treatment options and may prescribe medicines for the person to take at home. They may also undertake minor invasive investigations or procedures, such as conscious endoscopy, in a treatment room designed for this purpose. There may be other healthcare professionals, for example practice nurses, supporting the work of the doctor. Examples of services that fit under this category: * Independent doctors consulting rooms * NHS GP practices * Slimming clinics * Early medical abortion clinics * Travel vaccination services * Polyclinics Data is extracted once a quarter and provides a snapshot in time. It should be noted that due to changes to postcodes, a small proportion cannot be matched to the latest National Statistics Postcode Lookup file and are therefore excluded from these figures. Data is [Powered by LG Inform Plus] and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.
Number of dental practices per 1,000 population - Birmingham Constituency

This metric is derived by the LGA (Local Government Association) from the CQC (Care Quality Commission's) Care Directory file. The file contains a complete list of the places in England where care is regulated by CQC. Using the National Statistics Postcode Lookup, we have counted the number of dental practices located in an area and then created a crude rate per 1,000 resident population. These services involve registered dentists and dental care professionals usually working in premises designed for consultation and treatment, but they can also be provided in a person's place of residence. Consultations and examinations will involve discussion of the treatment options with the patient and may include dental radiography. Treatment is usually provided in a dedicated room and, in consultation with the patient, may be under local anaesthetic, or use a laser. Medicines may be prescribed as part of the treatment. Examples of services that fit under this category: * Primary care dental services (dentists on the high street, NHS funded, private or both) * Dental out-of-hours services Data is extracted once a quarter and provides a snapshot in time. It should be noted that due to changes to postcodes, a small proportion cannot be matched to the latest National Statistics Postcode Lookup file and are therefore excluded from these figures.

Rate of births of new enterprises per 10,000 population aged 16+ - WMCA

This is the number of new business registrations per 10,000 resident population aged 16 and above, in the area. A birth is identified as a business that was present in year t, but did not exist in year t-1 or t-2. Births are identified by making comparison of annual active business population files and identifying those present in the latest file, but not the two previous ones. This data is produced from an extract taken from the Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR). The publication focuses on changes to the registered business population, that is, those businesses registered at HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) for Value Added Tax (VAT) and/or Pay-As-You-Earn (PAYE) and at Companies House. The full definition of the measure is new businesses registering for VAT and PAYE and some smaller businesses reaching the VAT threshold or running a PAYE scheme for the first time. This was previously reported as NI 171. A single enterprise could have been "born", gone out of business, and then been "re-born" all within the same year. Each of these births would be counted individually. Proportions are based on figures rounded independently to the nearest 5 units. The population size is from ONS Mid-year population estimates and is subject to revision. Data is [Powered by LG Inform Plus] and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.
Number of nursing homes per 1,000 population - Birmingham Constituency

This metric is derived by the LGA (Local Government Association) from the CQC (Care Quality Commission's) Care Directory file. The file contains a complete list of the places in England where care is regulated by CQC. Using the National Statistics Postcode Lookup, we have counted the number of nursing homes located in an area and then created a crude rate per 1,000 resident population. A care home is a place where personal care and accommodation are provided together. People may live in the service for short or long periods. For many people, it is their sole place of residence and so it becomes their home, although they do not legally own or rent it. Both the care that people receive and the premises are regulated. In addition, qualified nursing care is provided to ensure that the full needs of the person using the service are met. Examples of services that fit under this category: * Nursing home * Convalescent home with nursing * Respite care with nursing * Mental health crisis house with nursing Data is extracted once a quarter and provides a snapshot in time. It should be noted that due to changes to postcodes, a small proportion cannot be matched to the latest National Statistics Postcode Lookup file and are therefore excluded from these figures. Data is [Powered by LG Inform Plus] and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.
Percentage with no qualifications (aged 16-64) - Birmingham Constituency

This shows the proportion of the population aged 16 to 64 with no formal qualifications. Data are from the Annual Population Survey (APS) which is a continuous household survey, covering the UK with a sample size of approximately 320,000 respondents. The data sets consist of 12 months of survey data and are broken down on a quarterly basis, qualification data is only available for calendar year survey periods, i.e. periods ending in December. Data is [Powered by LG Inform Plus] and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.
Percentage Universal Credit claimants in employment - Birmingham Wards

Proportion of people claiming Universal Credit who are in employment. This is based on the count of the number of people on Universal Credit on the second Thursday of each month (completed the Universal Credit claim process and accepted their Claimant Commitment) and have not had a closure of their claim recorded for this spell. A closure of their claim would be recorded either at the request of the individual or if their entitlement to Universal Credit ends, for example, if they no longer satisfy the financial conditions to receive Universal Credit as they have capital over the threshold. To allow sufficient time for earnings information to be gathered on all claimants, figures for the latest month in the series will not be available until the next release. Figures provided for starts show the Jobcentre Plus office recorded at the start of the claim, whereas the figures for the number of people on Universal Credit are representative of the current Jobcentre Plus office that the claimant is attending. It is possible for people to have started on Universal Credit in one office and have moved to another office during their claim, and for this reason, the number of people on Universal Credit can be higher than the starts figure for any particular office, however it is more noticeable when numbers are low. You may be eligible to get Universal Credit if you’re on a low income or out of work, 18 or over (there are some exceptions if you’re 16 to 17), you’re under State Pension age (or your partner is), you and your partner have £16,000 or less in savings between you, and you live in the UK. Universal Credit has replaced Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA) for most people. It is still possible to claim JSA if you are 18 or over and under State Pension age. As long as you are actively looking for a full-time job and are out of work, or are working less than 16 hours a week. These standalone JSA claims are separately reported. Statistical disclosure control has been applied with Stat-Xplore, which guards against the identification of an individual claimant. Data is [Powered by LG Inform Plus] and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.

Mean gender pay gap for the authority - WMCA

This is the pay gap for a local authority or fire authority as reported annually to the Gender pay gap service. A late submission by an authority may not be included. Employers with 250 or more employees must publish figures comparing men and women's average pay across the organisation. This metric shows the difference between the mean hourly rates for male staff and female staff expressed as a percentage of the male rate. A positive figure indicates that females are paid less than males on average; a negative figure indicates that females are paid more than males on average. For example; in the period 2023/2024 when comparing mean (average) hourly pay, women’s mean hourly pay is 2.8% lower than men’s.

Median house price (affordability ratios) - WMCA

This is the unadjusted median house priced for residential property sales (transactions) in the area for a 12 month period with April in the middle (year-ending September). These figures have been produced by the ONS (Office for National Statistics) using the Land Registry (LR) Price Paid data on residential dwelling transactions. The LR Price Paid data are comprehensive in that they capture changes of ownership for individual residential properties which have sold for full market value and covers both cash sales and those involving a mortgage. The median is the value determined by putting all the house sales for a given year, area and type in order of price and then selecting the price of the house sale which falls in the middle. The median is less susceptible to distortion by the presence of extreme values than is the mean. It is the most appropriate average to use because it best takes account of the skewed distribution of house prices. Note that a transaction occurs when a change of freeholder or leaseholder takes place regardless of the amount of money involved and a property can transact more than once in the time period. The LR records the actual price for which the property changed hands. This will usually be an accurate reflection of the market value for the individual property, but it is not always the case. In order to generate statistics that more accurately reflect market values, the LR has excluded records of houses that were not sold at market value from the dataset. The remaining data are considered a good reflection of market values at the time of the transaction. For full details of exclusions and more information on the methodology used to produce these statistics please see [http://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/housing/qmis/housepricestatisticsforsmallareasqmi] The LR Price Paid data are not adjusted to reflect the mix of houses in a given area. Fluctuations in the types of house that are sold in that area can cause differences between the median transactional value of houses and the overall market value of houses. Therefore these statistics differ to the new UK House Price Index (HPI) which reports mix-adjusted average house prices and house price indices. If, for a given year, for house type and area there were fewer than 5 sales records in the LR Price Paid data, the house price statistics are not reported. Data is [Powered by LG Inform Plus] and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.
Lower quartile house price (affordability ratios) - WMCA

This is the unadjusted lower quartile house priced for residential property sales (transactions) in the area for a 12 month period with April in the middle (year-ending September). These figures have been produced by the ONS (Office for National Statistics) using the Land Registry (LR) Price Paid data on residential dwelling transactions. The LR Price Paid data are comprehensive in that they capture changes of ownership for individual residential properties which have sold for full market value and covers both cash sales and those involving a mortgage. The lower quartile is the value determined by putting all the house sales for a given year, area and type in order of price and then selecting the price of the house sale which falls three quarters of the way down the list, such that 75Percentage of transactions lie above and 25Percentage lie below that value. These are particularly useful for assessing housing affordability when viewed alongside average and lower quartile income for given areas. Note that a transaction occurs when a change of freeholder or leaseholder takes place regardless of the amount of money involved and a property can transact more than once in the time period. The LR records the actual price for which the property changed hands. This will usually be an accurate reflection of the market value for the individual property, but it is not always the case. In order to generate statistics that more accurately reflect market values, the LR has excluded records of houses that were not sold at market value from the dataset. The remaining data are considered a good reflection of market values at the time of the transaction. For full details of exclusions and more information on the methodology used to produce these statistics please see [http://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/housing/qmis/housepricestatisticsforsmallareasqmi] The LR Price Paid data are not adjusted to reflect the mix of houses in a given area. Fluctuations in the types of house that are sold in that area can cause differences between the lower quartile transactional value of houses and the overall market value of houses. If, for a given year, for house type and area there were fewer than 5 sales records in the LR Price Paid data, the house price statistics are not reported."

Apprenticeship starts: Under 19 - WMCA

This is the number of learners who started an apprenticeship at any point during the full academic year (August to July) aged under 19. Apprenticeships are paid jobs that incorporate on-the-job and off-the-job training leading to nationally recognised qualifications. As an employee, apprentices earn as they learn and gain practical skills in the workplace. Learners undertaking more than one course will appear only once in the total. Location is based upon the home postcode of the learner. Figures exclude learners where the location is outside of England or unknown. Figures exclude privately funded training. Periods affected by varying COVID-19 restrictions, which will have impacted on apprenticeship and traineeship learning. Therefore, extra care should be taken in comparing and interpreting data. The data shown is for the latest full academic year, the Department for Education also publishes interim figures. Data is rounded to the nearest ten and values of fewer than 5 have been suppressed. Age is calculated based on the age at start of the programme. Data is [Powered by LG Inform Plus] and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.
