Research project / Dataset Python, R
Loneliness index
Explore neighbourhood loneliness indicators for the four UK nations.
What it helps with
A research project scoring and ranking neighbourhoods for loneliness. England uses a self-reported survey; Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland use prescriptions associated with loneliness-related conditions.
What you need
Requires an R installation and the project’s documented dependencies.
Coverage and considerations
Scores are comparable within nations, not between nations. Prescribing patterns are proxies and do not measure an individual’s experience of loneliness. The project is under development.
Sources and reuse
