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 2,919,656
Very good health 1,358,256
Good health 989,070
Fair health 396,720
Bad health 134,120
Very bad health 41,490

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