Birmingham's Wellbeing Index 2026 - Values

This dataset is the metadata to accompany the [Birmingham's Wellbeing Index 2026; Creating A Mentally Healthy City dashboard] and requires [Birmingham's Wellbeing Index 2026 - Metadata dataset] for header identification. The Birmingham Wellbeing Index brings together data, insight and place-based intelligence to reveal where need is greatest and guide action to create a more healthy and equitable city. First introduced in the Director of Public Health's annual report of 2025, this tool has been further developed as part of the Creating a Mentally Healthy City Strategy (2025–2035) — a long-term, whole-system commitment to improving mental health and reducing inequalities across Birmingham. The strategy recognises that mental health outcomes are shaped by a complex combination of social, economic, environmental and systemic factors, with need unevenly distributed across neighbourhoods. In response, it sets out a shift from traditional, service-led approaches to a preventative, place-based model focused on addressing the wider determinants of mental health and embedding wellbeing into everyday environments and systems. This ambition is structured around four interconnected priorities: * Healthy People * Healthy Families * Healthy Communities * Healthy Places To deliver this, Birmingham has established a Live Framework for Action — a dynamic, continuously evolving approach to planning and delivery that integrates behavioural science, data and co-production to ensure action is responsive, evidence-led and focused on reducing inequalities. Central to this approach is the Birmingham Mental Health Atlas (BMHA), a live intelligence and mapping tool that brings together data on deprivation, population need, demographics, services, community assets and environmental factors at neighbourhood level. This enables real-time, place-based insight, highlighting where need is greatest and where intervention is most needed. The Wellbeing Index builds directly on this foundation. The Atlas provides the detailed, place-based intelligence, while the Index brings this data together into a clear, structured and comparable measure of wellbeing and inequality across the city. Together, they support a more consistent understanding of variation across communities and strengthen evidence-based decision-making and prioritisation. The Index forms part of a live and evolving system. As delivery action plans are finalised and implemented through the Live Framework for Action, it will be further enhanced through the integration of additional data, indicators and outcome measures, particularly those linked to delivery and impact. Together, the strategy, Live Framework for Action, Mental Health Atlas and Wellbeing Index represent a connected system for change — moving Birmingham from high-level ambition to practical, data-informed action, and ensuring that improving mental health and wellbeing remains an ongoing, adaptive and equitable process, grounded in evidence and lived experience.
Vaccination coverage: MMR for one dose (2 years old) - WMCA

All children for whom the local authority is responsible who received one dose of MMR on or after their first birthday and at any time up to their second birthday as a percentage of all children whose second birthday falls within the time period. ## Rationale MMR is the combined vaccine that protects against measles, mumps and rubella. Measles, mumps and rubella are highly infectious, common conditions that can have serious complications, including meningitis, swelling of the brain (encephalitis) and deafness. They can also lead to complications in pregnancy that affect the unborn baby and can lead to miscarriage. Vaccination coverage is the best indicator of the level of protection a population will have against vaccine preventable communicable diseases. Coverage is closely correlated with levels of disease. Monitoring coverage identifies possible drops in immunity before levels of disease rise. The first MMR vaccine is given to children as part of the routine vaccination schedule, usually within a month of their first birthday. They'll then have a booster dose before starting school, which is usually between three and five years of age. Previous evidence shows that highlighting vaccination programmes encourages improvements in uptake levels.May also have relevance for NICE guidance PH21: Reducing differences in the uptake of immunisations (The guidance aims to increase immunisation uptake among those aged under 19 years from groups where uptake is low). ## Definition of numerator Total number of children whose second birthday falls within the time period who received one dose of MMR on or after their first birthday and at any time before their second birthday. Data for 2013 to 2014 are available at source at LA level. Data prior to 2013 to 2014 were collected at PCT level and converted to LA level using the criteria as described in the notes section below. ## Definition of denominator Total number of children whose second birthday falls within the time period. Data from 2013to 2014 are available at source at LA level. Data prior to 2013 to 2014 were collected at PCT level and converted to LA level using the criteria as described in the notes section below. ## Caveats Full GP postcodes are used to aggregate data to ICB. The GP-level coverage data is collected by NHS Digital Strategic Data Collection Service (SDCS) and published by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) COVER team. ICB data is experimental data and should be treated with caution. It is not an official statistic.
Life expectancy at birth - female - WMCA

The life expectancy figure used is for females aged under 1 year. Figures are based on the number of deaths registered and mid-year population estimates, aggregated over three consecutive years. Expectation of life at a given age for an area is the average number of years a person would live if he or she experienced that area's age-specific mortality rates for that time period throughout his or her life. It is therefore not the number of years someone of that age in the area could actually expect to live, both because the death rates of the area are likely to change in the future and because people may live in other areas for at least part of their lives. Data is [Powered by LG Inform Plus] and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.
Life expectancy at birth - male - WMCA

The life expectancy figure used is for males aged under 1 year. Figures are based on the number of deaths registered and mid-year population estimates, aggregated over three consecutive years.

Vaccination coverage: MMR for one dose (5 years old) - WMCA

All children for whom the local authority is responsible who received one dose of MMR on or after their first birthday and at any time up to their fifth birthday as a percentage of all children whose fifth birthday falls within the time period. ## Rationale MMR is the combined vaccine that protects against measles, mumps and rubella.

Healthy life expectancy at birth - female - WMCA

Healthy life expectancy (HLE) is an estimate of expected years of life spent in self-reported good health. The figure used is for females aged under 1 year. Figures are based on the number of deaths registered and mid-year population estimates, aggregated over three consecutive years. It is used as a high-level outcome to contrast and monitor the health status of different populations at specific points in time, giving context to the impacts of policy changes and interventions at both national and local levels. Healthy life expectancy has value across state, private, and voluntary sectors, in the assessment of healthy ageing, fitness for work, health improvement monitoring, extensions to the state pension age, pension provision, and health and social care need. This indicator is an extremely important summary measure of mortality and morbidity. It complements the supporting indicators such as mortality by cause by showing the overall trends and setting the context in which local authorities can assess the other indicators and identify the drivers of healthy life expectancy. The health prevalence data used in calculating HLE estimates for the various geographies in England were derived from the Annual Population Survey (APS). Data is [Powered by LG Inform Plus] and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.

Inequality in life expectancy at birth - female - WMCA

This indicator measures inequalities in life expectancy at birth within England as a whole, each English region, and each local authority. Life expectancy at birth is calculated for each deprivation decile of lower super output areas within each area and then the slope index of inequality (SII) is calculated based on these figures. The SII is a measure of the social gradient in life expectancy, i.e., how much life expectancy varies with deprivation. It takes account of health inequalities across the whole range of deprivation within each area and summarises this in a single number. This represents the range in years of life expectancy across the social gradient from most to least deprived, based on a statistical analysis of the relationship between life expectancy and deprivation across all deprivation deciles. Life expectancy at birth is a measure of the average number of years a person would expect to live based on contemporary mortality rates. For a particular area and time period, it is an estimate of the average number of years a newborn baby would survive if he or she experienced the age-specific mortality rates for that area and time period throughout his or her life. The SII for England and for regions have been presented alongside the local authority figures in order to improve the display of the indicators on the overview page. However, they should not be considered as comparators for the local authority figures. The SII for England takes account of the full range of deprivation and mortality across the whole country. This does not therefore provide a suitable benchmark with which to compare local authority results, which take into account the range of deprivation and mortality within much smaller geographies.

Median housing affordability ratio (residence-based) - WMCA

This is the median housing affordability ratio (residence-based) and is calculated by dividing house prices by gross annual earnings, based on the median of both house prices and earnings. This measure of affordability shows what the people who live in a given area earn in relation to that area's house prices, even if they work elsewhere. This measure does not consider that people may be getting higher earnings from working in other areas. A higher ratio indicates that on average, it is less affordable for a resident to purchase a house. Conversely, a lower ratio indicates higher affordability in a local authority. The earnings data are from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings which provides a snapshot of earnings at April in each year. Earnings relate to gross full-time individual earnings on a place of work basis. The house price statistics come from the House Price Statistics for Small Areas, which report the median and lower quartile price paid for residential property and refer to a 12-month period with April in the middle (year ending September).

Total greenhouse gas emissions per capita - WMCA

This is the greenhouse gas emissions estimate in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e) territorial emissions per head of population for all sectors in an area. This is the grand total of industry, commercial, public sector, domestic, transport, land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF), agriculture, and waste management. These estimates cover the Kyoto "basket" of seven gases: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), perfluorocarbons (PFC), sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3). The last four gases are collectively referred to as fluorinated gases or F gases. The purpose of these estimates is to assist those using local emissions accounting as a tool in developing emissions reduction strategies. It should be noted that circumstances vary enormously between authorities, and local authorities have relatively little influence over some types of emissions, and for these reasons these statistics should be interpreted with caution. Carbon dioxide is reported in terms of net emissions, which means total emissions minus total removals of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by carbon sinks. Carbon sinks are any process, activity or mechanism which removes a greenhouse gas, an aerosol or a precursor of a greenhouse gas from the atmosphere. The data show emissions allocated on an "end-user" basis where emissions related to energy use are distributed according to the point of energy consumption. Emissions that are not energy related are distributed based on the point of emission, other than emissions from waste management which are distributed based on where the waste was produced. These figures include emissions not within the scope of influence of Local Authorities. Except for the energy industry, emissions from the production of goods are assigned to where the production takes place. Therefore, emissions from the production of goods which are exported will be included, and emissions from the production of goods which are imported are excluded.

Fraction of mortality attributable to particulate air pollution (new method) - WMCA

Fraction of annual all-cause adult mortality attributable to anthropogenic (human-made) particulate air pollution (measured as fine particulate matter, PM2.5*). Mortality burden associated with long-term exposure to anthropogenic particulate air pollution at current levels, expressed as the percentage of annual deaths from all causes in those aged 30+. Caution is needed when considering apparent trends over time. Data is [Powered by LG Inform Plus] and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.
