Percentage of adults who are inactive (No activity) (19990) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the estimated percentage of those adults aged 16 and over in the local area who are inactive, having no physical activity at all. This level of activity figure is a subset of the percentage of adults who are inactive (<30 minutes a week). Data is taken from one or more broad activity categories of active travel, walking, cycling, riding a scooter, active play/informal activity, fitness, dance, and sporting activities.
When making comparisons between figures, some differences seen may not be significant differences and so a degree of caution should be made before making conclusions. The survey was adapted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The survey sample is randomly selected from the Royal Mail’s Postal Address File ensuring a very high coverage of private residential addresses. The target sample size for each English local authority (excluding the City of London and Isles of Scilly) is 500 returns. Data may be suppressed for an area where the threshold of 30 is not reached.
Population totals are created using Office for National Statistics (ONS) mid-year population estimates and latest census data.
Data is sourced from the adult Active Lives November to November survey.
