Downloads

Here we provide links to download the spatially averaged data either as .RDS files for use in R or as zipped tab-delimited txt files for other applications. See methods page for the processing methods and the units given. Please cite the original data sources when using these data (given with the download links and presented at the bottom of this page).

For customised county-level (GID 2) data downloads (subsetting and selecting only part of the data to download), please go to the R Shiny app

Experimental branch - UK regions

Here we additionally provide UK specific estimates at three different administrative levels, based on shapefiles provided by the UKs office for national statistics (ONS): NUTS 1 regions (Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics; comprising Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and 9 regions of England), LTLAs (Lower-tier local authorities; districts, boroughs or city councils), STPs (sustainability and transformation partnerships; 42 National Healthcare Service regions in England).
