The ONS doesn't publish census data directly for Metropolitan Counties. The figures on this page are aggregated from census areas contained within Merseyside. They may not, therefore, be precisely accurate. Age-standardised statistics and population density are not available for aggregated datasets.

This dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify usual residents in England and Wales by the state of their general health. The estimates are as at Census Day, 21 March 2021.

Summary

A person's assessment of the general state of their health from very good to very bad. This assessment is not based on a person's health over any specified period of time.

General health: Total: All usual residents 1,423,284
Very good health 665,950
Good health 449,742
Fair health 198,907
Bad health 82,498
Very bad health 26,187

These values are calculated by adding up the values for census output areas contained within Merseyside. They may, therefore, be slightly inaccurate due to administrative boundaries not precisely aligning with census boundaries.
