Biological Inequities Index

Centric Lab has partnered with CGG, a global geoscience technology company, to create a Biological Inequities Index of Great Britain.

A team of geospatial data scientists and neuroscientists have developed the index as a way to communicate the environmental trends that influence our health.

About Biological Inequity

Biological Inequity is the metric used to identify which places put more biological stress on the human system.

The following 7 maps have been created allowing people to observe information at the local authority level.

Working with this data

The data and Index is available at Local Authority, Ward and MSOA scales. We are open to working with organisations looking to enable justice and improve people’s health through its use.

This tool creates a clearer and informed assessment of the potential health hazards people in an area may be exposed to. 

By incorporating our environmental data scales with other infrastructure and health data, you can

• Turn disparate environmental, health, and infrastructure data sets into useful knowledge for assessing places.

• Simplify the process of integrating datasets to make urban health-based decisions.

• Transform the process you use to benchmark built environment goals through a scientific lens.
