Neighbourhood Index Key Drivers

□To make information more accessible and improve understanding of issues affecting neighbourhoods across the City □To develop a shared understanding of neighbourhood needs between partners □To provide a robust evidence based approach to formulating policies and allocating resources □To improve performance management at a local level by monitoring the impact of key services on a range of agreed indicators Aims

□To develop an Index to: § provide an overall picture of the relative ‘health’ of all neighbourhoods across the city § be used to measure the relative success of neighbourhoods across the city over time § provide a mechanism to measure the combined impact of interventions in a local area Defining the Neighbourhoods

Middle Super Output Areas (MSOAS) have been used as the basis for the Index. There are 108 MSOAs in the city. □ They provide a “ready made” set of boundaries for which a range of data is easily available □ They are recognised by all partner agencies □ They are of a comparable size in terms of population (each containing approximately 7,000 people) □ They meet Government guidance that a “neighbourhood” should contain between 5,000 to 10,000 people Structure of the Index

□A multiple domain and indicator based Index □Reports on a basket of indicators (26 in total) grouped into 7 domains □Generates a neighbourhood score for each indicator and for each domain which can be compared to the averages for the city □Generates a combined single Neighbourhood Index score Domains and Indicators

Economic Activity: Health: Job Seekers Allowance, Circulatory Disease Mortality (under 75s) Income Support (Lone Parents) Cancer Mortality (under 75s) Incapacity Benefit Low Birthweight Low Income: Education: Children in workless households Persistent absenteeism Working households claiming LCC benefits Foundation Stage attainment Older age households claiming LCC benefits KS2 attainment Debt (count of LCC liability orders) KS4 attainment NEETs Housing: Community Safety: Average house prices Crimes against individuals Price to Income Ratio Acquisitive property crime Housing turnover Environmental property crime & disorder Empty properties Other Community Disorders

Environment: Flytipping Graffiti Waste Issues Outputs

□The production of an annual set of neighbourhood profiles to an agreed template □Set of city-wide maps (an Atlas of Local Conditions) □Set of tables showing the comparative position of neighbourhoods across the range of indicators and within each domain □An “Annual Report” providing commentary on the results Sample Area Profile Sample Map Inner North West

On a best fit basis the Inner North West area contains 13 MSOAs

□Standard outputs to meet growing demand for small area data to better describe and understand neighbourhoods □‘Tin opener’ for other studies / research □Evidence base to inform policy formulation, priority setting and resource allocation □Improving performance management by monitoring impact of key services on a locality Forward Work Programme

□Gather feedback / evaluate the original outputs □Reformatting the area profiles (improving the map and incorporating time series / direction of travel information) □Explore the feasibility of including additional indicators (particularly in the Economic Activity, Environment and Health domains) □Annual data refresh (summer 2010)
