Organisations can save a lot of time and money by using existing indicators.
There are many benefits to using indicators that others have developed. If the indicator was developed by a public health agency, it is likely to have an evidence-based link to health. By using indicators that are reported elsewhere, you can compare data that you gather with other locations.
The database below is a selection of nearly 300 indicators across 22 categories. You can download the file or filter/search in the columns below. These are small selection of 8006 indicators that we identified in our review of urban health indicator tools.
