    Area of Science:

    • Demography
    • Socioeconomic Studies
    • Public Health Administration

    Background:

    • The Office for National Statistics (ONS) revised its classification of local and health authorities.
    • Boundary changes necessitated a re-evaluation of authority classifications.
    • Comparative studies require identification of similar authorities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present initial findings from the revised ONS classification.
    • To identify 'most similar' local and health authorities based on socioeconomic and demographic variables.
    • To aid authorities in selecting appropriate comparators for studies.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized 37 socioeconomic and demographic variables from the 1991 Census.
    • Analyzed data for all local and health authorities in Great Britain as of April 1999.

  • Employed similarity measures to identify comparable authorities.

    • Main Results:

    • Provides a list of 'most similar' authorities for each local and health authority.
    • Establishes a baseline for comparative analysis following boundary revisions.
    • Highlights the utility of census data for inter-authority comparisons.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented results facilitate comparative studies among local and health authorities.
    • This analysis supports the revised ONS classification by identifying comparable entities.
    • Further research will group authorities into hierarchical clusters for the new classification.
