Families, groups and clusters of local and health authorities: revised for authorities in 1999.

This is the second of two articles describing the revision of The ONS classification of local and health authorities of Great Britain to take account of area changes in the 1990's. It presents local authorities in Great Britain as at April 1999 in terms of Families, Groups and Clusters, based on 37 socio-economic and demographic variables from the 1991 Census. Health authorities are presented in terms of Families and Groups only, based on the same variables. The previous article (in Population Trends 98) presented, for each local and health authority, up to four other authorities to which it is 'most similar'.

Which authorities are alike?

This article describes the first results from the recent revision to The ONS classification of local and health authorities of Great Britain to allow for boundary changes. For each local and health authority of Great Britain as at April 1999 it presents 'most similar' authorities as measured by a selection of 37 socioeconomic and demographic variables from the 1991 Census. These results will assist local and health authorities in identifying other appropriate authorities for comparative studies. A second article, to be published in Population Trends 99, will present the results of the analysis to identify groups of authorities in a hierarchy of new Clusters, Groups and Families for the revised classification.
