Community Area Profiles
Community area profiles are a way of understanding the life in local communities and help us find ways to make improvements.
They can help:
- identify key issues such as crime and health
- highlight geographical differences between areas
- influence policy and resource decisions
A draft set of profiles have been developed based on the Audit Commission's 10 quality of life themes.
Full and summary profiles
The full profiles bring together more than a hundred pieces of information including statistical and consultation data as well as performance and other information. The summary profiles contain 33 key statistics.
Both full and summary profiles are available for Derbyshire's 42 community areas and help provide a more rounded picture of an area.
A full profile for Derbyshire county is also available for comparision.
The user guide
More about these areas is described in the User guide, which contains a map showing all the areas.
The User guide can be downloaded from the more information section on this page. It also contains information on how to read and understand the area profiles as well as details of the statistics included.
The summary table
This provides a quick picture of all 42 community areas.
Instructions on how to read the table are at the end of the document (which can be downloaded from the more information section on this page).
