This summary highlights the key findings from the 2019 Oxfordshire Joint Strategic Needs Assessment for West Oxfordshire district including historical and projected population change, wider determinants, health and mortality.

Also included is a summary of health inequalities indicators for wards in West Oxfordshire from the JSNA Inequalities Annex (including the Tartan rug overview) and the Public Health England 2018 profile for West Oxfordshire.

The Joint Strategic Needs Assessment provides information about Oxfordshire’s population and the factors affecting health, wellbeing, and social care needs. It brings together information from different sources and partners to create a shared evidence base, which supports service planning, decision-making, and delivery. The 2018 report, which was presented to the Health and Wellbeing Board on 22 March 2018, provides the most recent analysis of a broad range of data. The Annex provides a set of indicators for Oxfordshire showing differences at a small area level – ward, middle layer super output area or (if no small area data is available) at district level. UPDATED 12 April 2018 with additional explanatory text and health state life expectancies at ward level.

Oxfordshire County Council forecasts by 5 year age bands for districts from 2016 to 2037.

Forecasts use the ONS mid-year 2016 mid year population profile as the starting (base) year. Births, deaths, migration and the communal establishment populations are also from ONS.

Note that, unlike the local authority projections produced by ONS, the Oxfordshire County Council forecasts also include expected growth in housing in the county, with forecast completions data provided by district councils as of January 2018.

Data is provided in an excel workbook with counts by 5 year age bands and gender (rounded).
