Comment and limitations

Due to disaggregation not available at the local level, this data represents the North West of England as opposed to St Helens.

This indicator is being used as an approximation of the UN SDG Indicator. Where possible, we will work to identify or develop UK data to meet the global indicator specification. This indicator has been identified in collaboration with topic experts.
