The ‘Health Challenges’ group makes up 12% of the Droylsden West population. These are areas with the highest levels of illness and risky behav- iours now and within the past that lead to health challenges. They are typically some of the most deprived neighbourhoods and those with the highest elderly populations. This group has the highest prevalence of smoking and lowest consumption of fruit and vegetables. There may also be issues with isolation and mental wellbeing within the ‘Health Challenges’ group. The ‘Healthy’ group makes up 2.1% of the Droylsden West population. 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.
