People most at risk of severe illness from coronavirus (COVID-19) include those aged 70 years and over, those with underlying health conditions including certain chronic illnesses, as well as those with weakened immune systems. The UK government advises people in these groups to be particularly stringent in following “social distancing” measures.

As the UK population steps up national, local and community efforts to support its most vulnerable members, our interactive map allows you to identify which areas have the highest concentrations of people in some of the most vulnerable groups.

Our data cannot identify the numbers of people with the specific underlying health conditions in the government’s guidance, but it is possible to explore the number of people in local areas who report having “bad” or “very bad” health, those with long-term health conditions or disability, and people whose day-to-day activities are limited a lot.

You can also see the number of people in neighbourhoods who provide unpaid care to others.
