This report card is customised for each Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) on the map. The title at the top gives the LSOA's unique ID, the Office for National Statistics area classification, and the Ward name. Wards are usually larger than LSOAs, but unlike LSOAs have recognisable local names. This tab gives an overview of the LSOAs total carbon footprint, while other tabs give more detail and additional context about parts of the carbon footprint.
The bar chart shows the total carbon footprint per person in units of kilogrammes of carbon dioxide equivalent. The first column shows the footprint of the selected LSOA. The second column shows the average footprint of LSOAs in the same local authority. The third column shows the average footprint of all LSOAs in England. The fourth column shows the average footprint of LSOAs with the same area classification. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) produced the area classifications, which group areas into one of 24 categories based on social, economic, geographic, and demographic factors. Thus, this column represents the average of similar areas with similar people. The horizontal black line represents the UK's target footprint per person set out in the Committee on Climate Change's 6th Carbon Budget, covering 2032 to 2037. It is intended to provide an indication of how far we must go in the next ten years if we are to have any chance of reaching net-zero by 2050.
Understanding the grades
Many values have been given a grade from A+ to F- to help you understand how this LSOA compares to others. The grades are relative to the average LSOA, so areas with an A+ to C- grade are better than average, while areas with a D+ to F- grade are worse than average. Most areas are close to the average, so theses grade bands are wide, representing 7% of LSOAs. Towards the extremes, the grade bands narrow, so only the best 1% of LSOAs get an A+ grade . In some cases, it is not possible to calculate a grade due to missing data, so a NA value will be shown.

Housing: Historical Trends
Number of dwellings by council tax band
This chart shows the number of dwellings in each council tax band from 2010 to the present according to the Valuation Office Agency. The VOA round this data to the nearest 10 dwellings, so minor inconsistencies may exist. Note that the I band is only used in Wales.
Number of dwellings by building type
This chart shows the number of dwellings by building type from 2020 to the present according to the Valuation Office Agency. The VOA round this data to the nearest 10 dwellings, so minor inconsistencies may exist.
Number of dwellings by bedrooms
This chart shows the number of dwellings by the number of bedrooms from 2020 to the present according to the Valuation Office Agency. The VOA round this data to the nearest 10 dwellings, so minor inconsistencies may exist.
Number of dwellings by building age
This chart shows the number of dwellings by building age from 2020 to the present according to the Valuation Office Agency. The VOA round this data to the nearest 10 dwellings, so minor inconsistencies may exist.
Demographics
Community Photo
The community photo gives an at-a-glance overview of the deomgraphics of each neighbouhood based on the 2021 Census. Each image represents households based on household compostion, socio-economic classification (NS-SEC), and ethnicity. For more details see the manual.
Population estimates and number of dwellings
This chart shows estimates of the population, number of dwellings, and number of households for each year since 2010. The number of people living within an area is fundamental variable for many of the calculations within the PBCC. Unfortunately, we only know this with certainty in 2011 and 2021/22 when the Census were performed. Between those dates we use the ONS mid-year population estimates. The stacked bar chart shows the distribution of residents ages.
Council Tax data provides a reasonably accurate record of the number of dwellings (red line) and can be used to track house building and demolition. Unfortunately, the ONS do not estimate the number of households each year and so we have estimated this number based on the know numbers for the 2011 and 2021/22 censuses and changes in the number of adults and dwellings in each year.
Getting the number of households estimated accurately is important as many parts of the carbon footprint calculations are done on a per-household basis and only converted to a per-person basis at the final stage.
This chart also contains adjustments for changes in the boundaries of LSOAs which occurred with each Census. Providing historical estimates of population within the 2021 boundaries.
