Health Poverty Index (HPI) visualisation tool: Select Groups

Select your HPI groups

Please choose the two groups you would like to compare. You can define your groups using any of the following categories; Geographical area; smaller geographical sub-areas (None, best 10% or worst 10%); Year of data collection; Age; and Ethnic makeup. Alternatively you can compare between your main group and a standard comparator area, by selecting one of the ONS classification clusters as the comparison group.

Then click on View HPI data to see your groups compared.
