New insights published on the Derbyshire Observatory

28 May 2026

We have recently published a new area profile and ‘quilt’ for 2026 on the Derbyshire Observatory.


The 'quilt' is a heat map which shows how each of the 64 divisions and eight districts rank across around 50 indicators – it provides a quick ‘at a glance’ snapshot of a large number of statistics.

The area profile is an interactive dashboard which allows users to select one of the eight districts or 64 electoral divisions and see how they compare to each other, the county and England across around 40 different indicators.

Explore them on the Derbyshire Observatory.

We’re always keen to improve and grow the observatory. If you spot something useful, want to learn more about a topic, or have ideas for new content please get in touch at: research.mailbox@derbyshire.gov.uk.

Your feedback helps us make the site more useful for colleagues and wider users so we’d love to hear from you.
