This dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify usual residents in England and Wales by long-term health problems or disabilities. The estimates are as at Census Day, 21 March 2021.

Summary

People who assessed their day-to-day activities as limited by long-term physical or mental health conditions or illnesses are considered disabled. This definition of a disabled person meets the harmonised standard for measuring disability and is in line with the Equality Act (2010).

Disability: Total: All usual residents 223,963
Disabled under the Equality Act 39,312
Disabled under the Equality Act: Day-to-day activities limited a lot 15,823
Disabled under the Equality Act: Day-to-day activities limited a little 23,489
Not disabled under the Equality Act 184,651
Not disabled under the Equality Act: Has long term physical or mental health condition but day-to-day activities are not limited 16,391
Not disabled under the Equality Act: No long term physical or mental health conditions 168,260

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