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.
