State of Herefordshire Report

The State of Herefordshire Report (SoH), produced by the Herefordshire Partnership Research Team, is a digest of statistics about Herefordshire containing local performance and contextual information. The State of Herefordshire Report describes the county and the current issues that it is facing, a useful tool for policy making and evidence for funding bids. The SoH is also useful as an evidence base for organisations such as Government Office and Advantage West Midlands, who may need to make decisions about Herefordshire without necessarily knowing the area well.

The report is linked to the outcomes in the Herefordshire Sustainable Community Strategy, and is structured so that you can see statistics and information relating to each of the objectives. A number of key performance indicators (KPI) have been chosen to monitor progress towards these outcomes. The State of Herefordshire Report provides trend data for these KPIs and other supplementary indicators (PI), together with relevant contextual facts and figures. Wherever possible, comparative data is presented to allow benchmarking.

The latest State of Herefordshire Report was published in June 2007. The next copy is planned for the end of 2008. In the meantime, updates of the data (including more detailed breakdowns) will be made available to view or download via the tabs on the left. In future, data on these pages will be updated as and when new information becomes available.

Over the following months data will be added to this section covering performance indicators and also contextual information, such as the 2001 Census and the Indices of Deprivation. Information is presented for the county of Herefordshire and, where possible, for areas below county, comparative geographies and trend data for previous years. In cases where analysis of the data has already been presented in a report such as the Quarterly Economic Report, a link to that additional information will be provided.
