Health and life expectancies: council areas

Life expectancy (LE) and healthy life expectancy (HLE) for Scottish council areas are published annually by NRS. Reports and infographics produced by NRS explore of the annual patterns seen in life expectancy and healthy life expectancy by council area.

Chart 1 uses NRS data to show trends for LE and HLE by Scottish council area for males and females. The ScotPHO online profiles tool can also be used to visualise trends for multiple councils in single chart (see ‘Trend’ or ‘Rank’ tabs).
