Access to Everyday Places
Back to Resource HubWhat is it?
A dataset measuring how easily people can reach jobs, education, healthcare, shops and services across different areas. It combines accessibility with factors such as poverty, disability, poor health, caring responsibilities and age to show where people may be more vulnerable to social exclusion.
How is it useful?
Use it to identify which places and groups face the greatest barriers to everyday opportunities. It gives a more up-to-date, transport-focused view than wider measures, helping you target investment and plan inclusive services. Results are relative, so they show how areas compare and may change as conditions shift.
