Physical environment: data introduction

These pages contain some very limited examples of data on the physical environment. Further data (e.g. on housing quality) will be added in the coming months.

Note, however, that data on proximity to landfill sites, industrial pollution sites and poor river water quality are presented within the data pages of the environmental justice section of the website. Some data on 'rating of neighbourhood' are also presented within the social environment section.

Also, see the data sources page of this section of the website for examples of where other physical environment related data may be accessed.

The table below shows the dimensions and geographies for which data are presented within the data pages of this section of the website.
