Summary
Description:
The Local Data Spaces (LDS) programme is a collaboration between the [Joint Biosecurity Centre (JBC)](https://www.gov.uk/government/groups/joint-biosecurity-centre), [Office for National Statistics (ONS)](https://www.adruk.org/about-us/our-partnership/office-for-national-statistics/), the [Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG)](https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-housing-communities-and-local-government) and [ADR UK](http://www.adruk.org).
The LDS programme used de-identified Covid-19 data from the national Test and Trace programme and also the ONS, to understand the spread of the pandemic in their areas and its impact on their communities.
Four academic researchers from University of Liverpool, University of Leeds and UCL were funded to provide analysis on behalf of local authorities in need of analytical support. Among the deliverables of the project is a series of reports, for each Local Authority District in England, on different topics of interest during the COVID-19 pandemic:
* Demographic Inequalities In Covid 19
* Economic Vulnerability
* Ethnic Inequalities In Covid 19
* Excess Mortality
* Geospatial Inequalities In Covid 19
* Human Mobility Report
* Industry Densities
* Occupational Inequalities
* Population and Housing
* Social Economy
## Content
The reports, in html form and accessible offline, are available below. A zip file for each English region has been created, each file itself contains zip files for each local authority in that region. They have been created using data and boundaries from different years. Some Local Authority District might have a different code than the current one and might not contain all the reports listed above.
Please note that the zip files are very large. (300MB-1.8GB)
