Wellbeing Acorn - UK Postcode-Level Health & Wellbeing Segmentation (Public Sector Only)

**Wellbeing Acorn** provides postcode‑level **health and wellbeing segmentation** for every UK residential postcode, classifying the population into **4 Groups** and **25 detailed Types**.<br/>By analysing demographic, lifestyle, behavioural and health indicators, the dataset offers a **granular understanding of community health characteristics**, enabling organisations to identify need, vulnerability and service demand across the UK.

Unlike broad postcode averages, Wellbeing Acorn captures the **distinctive health profiles** of neighbourhoods, helping public sector teams prioritise resources, target interventions and improve outcomes across local government, the NHS, public health and emergency services.
