These are areas with very low levels of illness and good lifestyle behaviours. These areas are typically more affluent, often with a high proportion of older residents. Levels of smoking are very low and consumption of fruit and vegetables are high.  The ‘Health Challenges’ group makes up 11.9% of the Mossley population. These are areas with the highest levels of illness and risky behaviours now and within the past that lead to health challenges. They are typically some of the most deprived neighbourhoods and those with the most elderly populations.

Wellbeing Acorn is a geodemographic segmentation tool that profiles the population in terms of health and wellbeing attributes. These include existing medical conditions, prescribed medication, life-style behaviours such as smoking and alcohol consumption, and self-perceived health status. There are four overarching groups to the segmentation, Health Challenges, At Risk, Caution and Healthy. Each of these Wellbeing Acorn groups are further divided into a number of types, of which there are 25 in total. Each Wellbeing Acorn type has a particular profile of demographic and health factors that give an overview of the state of health of the population living in an area. Note that in Tameside non of the population is represented by the Acorn Type ‘Cultural Concerns’ and therefore this group is excluded from these profiles. For a full overview of the features of each of the Wellbeing Acorn groups and types please see the Wellbeing Acorn user guide, available at :- www.caci.co.uk/sites/default/files/resources/Wellbeing_Acorn_UG.pdf
