Thurrock's Wellbeing Score
Co-op's Community Wellbeing Index
What is the Community Wellbeing Index?
The index gives an insight into what's important to people in a local community. From the quality of education, housing affordability, and public transport - to the amount of green space and the number of community centres in an area. We have gathered data for over 28,000 communities across the UK, to understand how they score across these and many other wellbeing measures.
