Fast food outlet rate per 100,000 population (10759) Metric type
- Help text
- This is a crude rate of fast food outlets in the selected area per 100,000 resident population. It is produced by Public Health England using the Food Standards Agency (FSA) Food Hygiene Rating Scheme (FHRS) data. The food hygiene rating or inspection result given to a business reflects the standards of food hygiene found on the date of inspection or visit by the local authority. The food hygiene rating is not a guide to food quality. The information provided on businesses is held on behalf of local authorities participating in the national Food Hygiene Rating Scheme in England, which is all the local authorities in England. The term 'fast food' means different things to different people. For example, it is sometimes associated with a particular type of food. In this instance 'fast food' refers to food that is energy dense and available quickly, therefore it covers a range of outlets that include, but are not limited to, burger bars, kebab and chicken shops, chip shops and pizza outlets. It is likely that the data here does not show the complete picture for fast food outlets. Many of the outlets that could be considered 'fast food' are likely to be multi-functional; sit-down and eat in, takeaway and home delivery. As a result businesses may have been recorded under the category of restaurant or café which would mean they may not have been included here despite selling similar types of food to those included in this analysis. The local authority data table is created by local authority assigned in the FHRS data, Ward level data is assigned by postcode. The data is a specific snapshot at a point (31 December of the reference year) in time but counts and rates may alter slightly over time as fast food outlets open and close. Data for City of London has been excluded as it has a very small resident population but a high density of fast food outlets. This results in an abnormally high rate of fast food outlets per 100,000 population. Further information on the methodology is available https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/fast-food-outlets-density-by-local-authority-in-england Please note that this metric is not comparable with PHE's previous density of fast food outlets map and data (2016) as these were developed from a different dataset (Point X data, Ordnance Survey and Landmark Information Group Ltd).
