Brent Wellbeing Index

Get information about your borough and the area you live in

The Brent Wellbeing Index is an interactive tool that measures how Brent's 22 wards are performing across a wide range of social, environmental and economic outcomes. It focuses on what life is like for Brent’s communities, covering areas such as, health, housing, safety, education, access to services and community wellbeing.

The Index provides a detailed and shared understanding of the borough, helping the council and partners to become an insight-led borough that better understands its communities and takes data-informed decisions.

Using the Index

Selecting any indicator tab in the scorecard will open the relevant map in our Borough Data Explorer. Use the tabs along the top to switch features.
