This dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify usual residents in England and Wales by long-term health problems or disabilities. The estimates are as at Census Day, 21 March 2021.

Summary

People who assessed their day-to-day activities as limited by long-term physical or mental health conditions or illnesses are considered disabled. This definition of a disabled person meets the harmonised standard for measuring disability and is in line with the Equality Act (2010).

Disability: Total: All usual residents 229,293
Disabled under the Equality Act 27,676
Disabled under the Equality Act: Day-to-day activities limited a lot 11,140
Disabled under the Equality Act: Day-to-day activities limited a little 16,536
Not disabled under the Equality Act 201,617
Not disabled under the Equality Act: Has long term physical or mental health condition but day-to-day activities are not limited 13,208
Not disabled under the Equality Act: No long term physical or mental health conditions 188,409

These values are calculated by adding up the values for census output areas contained within Merton. They may, therefore, be slightly inaccurate due to administrative boundaries not precisely aligning with census boundaries.
