Methodology

Rows are taken directly from the ONS life-expectancy-by-local-authority release and the Health state life expectancies (Healthy life expectancy) release. Life expectancy at birth uses the 2017-19 reference period; healthy life expectancy, where present, uses 2022-24. No figures are modelled or interpolated.

How this snapshot is prepared & verified

  1. Source. Retrieved from Office for National Statistics β€” Life expectancy by local authority + Health state life expectancies (Healthy life expectancy), UK (Office for National Statistics), the official publisher, under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Reference period: life expectancy 2017-19, healthy life expectancy 2022-24.
  2. Verbatim capture. Every figure shown here is copied from, or computed directly from, that snapshot β€” nothing is estimated, rounded away or hand-entered.
  3. Verification. Column values are checked against the published source before release, and the licence and attribution are preserved exactly as issued.
  4. Re-publication. The snapshot is exposed as a citable page plus JSON and CSV downloads so it stays independently verifiable and quotable.
