These fuel poverty risk indicators provide users with a nuanced picture of the impact of various risk factors, exacerbating factors and indicators for fuel poverty. It was developed with the Assembly Health and Public Services Committee in their investigation into fuel poverty in London. The Committee's report explains how the tool could be used strategically to help organisations target specific wards that are at high risk of fuel poverty. Appendix 4 in the report set out the rationale for the risk factors present in the tool.

Users can adjust the weighting of the indicators to show their relative significance. Isolating specific indicators could help organisations determine what type of support is likely to have greatest impact in an area. For example, wards with a low score for cavity wall insulation would indicate wards that could be targeted for promoting uptake of cavity wall insulation.

Read Victoria Borwick's blog "Using public data to tackle fuel poverty - can you help?"

The fuel poverty scores measure risk of fuel poverty based on 12 indicators. The England and Wales average each year is 0. Scores below 0 are more likely to be at risk from fuel poverty according to these measures.

The indicators are:

**Housing **
Dwellings without central heating
Cavity walls that are uninsulated
Lofts with less than 150mm insulation

**Health **
Health Deprivation & Disability domain (ID2010)
Standardised Mortality Ratio
Incapacity Benefit claimant rate

**Older people **
People aged 60 and over
Older people claiming pension credit

**Worklessness **
Unemployment

Poverty
Income Support claimant rate
Child Poverty rates
Households classified 'fuel poor'

The Excel tool includes a ward map, charts and rankings.

Note: Users must enable macros when prompted upon opening the spreadsheet (or reset security to medium/low) for the map to function. The rest of the tool will function without macros.

Improving the local environment can help improve health and wellbeing. The GLA have produced a bespoke guide for each London borough highlighting how positive changes to the environment help support better health.

The Better Environment, Better Health guide offers tailored information on seven important environmental factors that can impact on residents’ health. These factors are green spaces, active travel and transport, surface water flood risk, air quality, healthy food, fuel poverty and overheating.

These guides are written for borough Health and Wellbeing Boards, Directors of Public Health, elected members, Regeneration and Planning Officers, Environmental Officers, Health Watch and Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs). The guides aim to influence local borough decisions and how budgets are decided and allocated. The hope is to encourage more collaborative work to reinforce London’s resilience to changes in climate and improve Londoners’ health.

Number and percentage of properties with solid walls and those not connected to gas mains at Lower Super Output Area level. Data is taken from the rural fuel poverty study funded by Eaga Partnership Charitable Trust, and Energy Efficiency Partnership for Homes.

The report helped with quantifying rural fuel poverty across England, particularly in relation to hard-to-treat (HTT) homes. Data covers the whole of England.

Spreadsheet also includes household in fuel poverty in 2003.

Percentage of households in fuel poverty as measured by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. Statistics by tenure taken from the English Housing Survey. This dataset is one of the Greater London Authority's measures of Economic Fairness. Click here to find out more.

The Mayor is committed to cutting fuel poverty and increasing the energy efficiency of buildings across London. To help target where action is most needed, the Mayor has developed a London Building Stock Model with the UCL Energy Institute. The London Building Stock Model is a database of all the energy and carbon data collected through the Mayor’s energy programmes and policies. It provides a snapshot of all London’s buildings (both domestic and non-domestic) with information on their energy performance certificates as of 2017.

More information is available here, and an interactive map is available here.

Most of the data from the London Building Stock Model interactive map has been made available through the data extracts below. Please note that the data extracts are based on Ordnance Survey's list of London properties as of 2023. However, as the London Building Stock Model data is from 2017, some of the properties might not have any London Building Stock Model data attached to them.

The data contains Ordnance Survey mapping and the data is published under Ordnance Survey's 'presumption to publish'. © Crown copyright and database rights 2023

The LSOA atlas provides a summary of demographic and related data for each Lower Super Output Area in Greater London. The average population of an LSOA in London in 2010 was 1,722 compared with 8,346 for an MSOA and 13,078 for a ward.

The profiles are designed to provide an overview of the population in these small areas by combining a range of data on the population, diversity, households, health, housing, crime, benefits, land use, deprivation, schools, and employment.

Due to significant population change in some areas, not all 2011 LSOA boundaries are the same as previous LSOA boundaries that had been used from 2001. A lot of data is still only available using the 2001 boundaries therefore two Atlases have been created - one using the current LSOA boundaries (2011) and one using the previous boundaries (2001).

If you need to find an LSOA and you know the postcode of the area, the ONS NESS search page has a tool for this.

The LSOA Atlas is available as an XLS as well as being presented using InstantAtlas mapping software. This is a useful tool for displaying a large amount of data for numerous geographies, in one place (requires HTML 5).

For 2011 Census data used in the 2001 Boundaries Atlas: For simplicity, where two or more areas have been merged, the figures for these areas have been divided by the number of LSOAs that used to make that area up. Therefore, these data are not official ONS statisitcs, but presented here as indicative to display trends.

NB. It is currently not possible to export the map as a picture due to a software issue with the Google Maps background. We advise you to print screen to copy an image to the clipboard.

IMPORTANT: Due to the large amount of data and areas, the LSOA Atlas may take up to a minute to fully load. Once loaded, the report will work more efficiently by using the filter tool and selecting one borough at a time. Displaying every LSOA in London will slow down the data reload.

Tips:

1. - Select a new indicator from the Data box on the left. Select the theme, then indicator and then year to show the data.

2. - To view data just for one borough, use the filter tool.

3. - The legend settings can be altered by clicking on the pencil icon next to the LSOA tick box within the map legend.

4. - The areas can be ranked in order by clicking at the top of the indicator column of the data table.

Interview questions and interview transcripts of interviews with the national leaders from different Christian denominations in the UK. The interviews address contemporary poverty in the UK - Its causes and the response of different UK Churches. The interviews reflect a range of different factors - the size of different denominations, the links of denominations to the state and different theological perspectives about Christian engagement with politics.Life on the Breadline was a three year qualitative research project that ran from 2018-2021. The project arose from a recognition that as the state withdrew during the Age of Austerity begun after the 2010 UK General Election, the Church was increasingly stepping in to fill the gap, as seen, for example, in relation to the siting of 75% of UK food banks in local church buildings. The Age of Austerity demonstrated the ongoing active role of the Church in civil society politics, due to its presence and influence in neighbourhoods across the UK [especially socially excluded neighbourhoods]. The research team hold the view that academic research should be a force for progressive social change and a resource for those struggling for social justice in the face of structural injustice. The aim of the project, which drew on theology and the social sciences, was to explore, describe and analyse the the nature, extent and impact of Christian responses to poverty in the UK since the 2008 global financial crash. We sought to develop resources and a variety of outputs that would enable Churches to become more effective and informed in their anti-poverty activism and help policymakers to develop a greater awareness of the role played by faith groups in responding to poverty. During the project we further sought to engage with the complexity of poverty [fuel poverty, low pay, housing justice and child poverty as well as food poverty]. During the project we conducted interviews with national church leaders from thirteen UK-based Christian denominations, ran a survey of regional Church leaders from England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales and developed six ethnographic case studies highlighting different aspects of poverty (e.g. food poverty, housing justice, low pay, fuel poverty or unemployment), different Christian traditions and theological perspectives and different geographical locations (2 case studies were in Birmingham, 2 were in London and 2 were in London). Interviewees and survey participants were selected because they held strategic leadership roles in their denomination and case studies were selected to to reflect geographical spread, a range of differing Christian traditions and different aspects of poverty. The project gave rise to a wide range of academic and social outputs, free to download resources, a photographic exhibition, church leader and policymaker reports, CPD and short courses and animated videos. Details about many of these can be found on the Life on the Breadline website - https://breadlineresearch.coventry.ac.uk/

Life on the Breadline has been the most extensive, evidence-based empirical analysis of Christian responses to UK poverty since the 2008 global financial crash yet developed by academic theologians. The project emerged from the project team's shared conviction that empirically-based rigorous theological research could be a resource for progressive social change in the face of the growing poverty and inequality experienced during the Age of Austerity. The project aimed to analyse the the impact that austerity policies have had on the nature, scope, approach and impact of Christian engagement with poverty in the UK and the ways in which churches have used their enduring localised social capital in tackling poverty.

Bringing theology and the social sciences together in dialogue, Life on the Breadline drew on a triangulated approach to primary research - Six ethnographic case studies were developed in London, Birmingham and Manchester [focusing on different aspects of poverty and various Christian traditions], the national Church leaders of fifteen Christian denominations in the UK were interviewed and regional Church leaders from across the UK were invited to take part in an online survey. More than 300 regional Church leaders were invited to take part. Participants were selected on the basis of their position as strategic public leaders and representative figures within the Church in their region. In some cases regions were geographically smaller than others. This was dependent on the different ways in which denominations structured and spread their geographical presence. In this we were guided by the ways in which Churches structured themselves. Where Churches did not respond reminders were sent. Ultimately a total of 104 regional Church leaders from more than twenty Christian denominations in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales took part in the survey and responded to a wide range of qualitative closed and open questions about the nature of poverty in their region since the 2008 financial crash, their perceptions about the role UK government policies have played in relation to poverty, their denomination's engagement with poverty at national, regional and local levels and the impact of their anti-poverty social action.

In the wake of the 2008/9 financial crash, resulting global recession and the 'age of austerity' introduced by the 2010-15 government, poverty in the UK rose more dramatically than in any other G7 nation. The number of people relying on foodbanks to feed their families rose from 25,000 in 2008 to 1,200,000 in early 2017. Between 2010 and 2016 the number of people in the UK earning less than a 'living wage' grew from 3,400,000 to 4,900,000 and the number of people on 'zero hours' contracts grew to 905,000. By early 2017 more than 30% of British children were living in poverty, 25% of the population were living in fuel poverty and rough sleeping had grown to 4,134, double the 2010 figure. Economic poverty is one aspect of more wide-ranging social exclusion. However the project will demonstrate that broader patterns of social exclusion are largely driven by poverty. In the face of this dramatic growth in poverty and inequality third sector and faith-based organisations have been in the vanguard of the ongoing struggle against social exclusion.

Christian communities have been involved in challenging urban poverty since the industrial revolution. However during the 'age of austerity' they have become increasingly important players as a result of their enduring relationships in local communities. Michael Hoelzl and Keith Ward (2008) refer to this as the 'new visibility of religion'. A key arena within which this 'new visibility' has been seen is in relation to rising levels of poverty and social inequality. 'Life on the Breadline: Christianity, Poverty and Politics in the 21st century' is the first interdisciplinary theological analysis of poverty in the UK since the financial crash. It will increase the awareness of the scope and impact of Christian engagement with poverty amongst government policy-makers and within wider society, enrich social policy and research and enable more effective faith-based action on poverty across urban Britain.

This project will analyse the nature, scope, extent and impact of Christian engagement with poverty. Six ethnographic case studies of Christian NGOs will be developed, interviews of 120 regional church leaders in Birmingham, London and Manchester and two National Poverty Consultations with 50+ national church leaders attending will enable the project to generate the most extensive evidence-base to date of Christian engagement with poverty in the UK. Fieldwork will analyse two differing approaches to tackling poverty - 'caring' and 'campaigning' - in order to assess whether the 'age of austerity' has affected the nature and impact of Christian engagement with poverty and the values that underpin it.

The project will develop a critical dialogue...

Te wskaźniki zagrożenia ubóstwem paliwowym zapewniają użytkownikom zniuansowany obraz wpływu różnych czynników ryzyka, czynników zaostrzających i wskaźników ubóstwa energetycznego. Został on opracowany wraz z Komitetem Zdrowia Zgromadzenia i Usług Publicznych w ich dochodzeniu w sprawie ubóstwa energetycznego w Londynie. W sprawozdaniu komisji wyjaśniono, w jaki sposób można strategicznie wykorzystać to narzędzie, aby pomóc organizacjom ukierunkować działania na konkretne oddziały, które są w wysokim stopniu zagrożone ubóstwem energetycznym. W dodatku 4 do sprawozdania przedstawiono uzasadnienie czynników ryzyka obecnych w narzędziu.

Użytkownicy mogą dostosować wagę wskaźników, aby pokazać ich względne znaczenie. Wyodrębnienie konkretnych wskaźników mogłoby pomóc organizacjom w określeniu, jaki rodzaj wsparcia może mieć największy wpływ na dany obszar. Na przykład oddziały z niskim wynikiem izolacji ścian wnękowych wskazywałyby oddziały, które mogłyby być ukierunkowane na promowanie absorpcji izolacji ścian wnękowych.

Przeczytaj blog Victorii Borwick "Korzystanie z danych publicznych w celu rozwiązania problemu ubóstwa energetycznego - czy możesz pomóc?"

Wskaźniki ubóstwa energetycznego służą do pomiaru zagrożenia ubóstwem energetycznym na podstawie 12 wskaźników. Średnia dla Anglii i Walii każdego roku wynosi 0. Zgodnie z tymi środkami istnieje większe prawdopodobieństwo, że wyniki poniżej 0 będą zagrożone ubóstwem energetycznym.
