About Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs)

The whole of England is divided up into 'Lower Super Output Areas':

• LSOAs are made up of about 1,000 people
• each electoral ward in England is divided up into LSOAs
• wards vary in size greatly across England so the number of LSOAs within them also varies
• in Adur and Worthing wards are however of a fairly similar population size and so the number of LSOAs in them does not vary greatly:
  • for each of the wards in Adur and Worthing there are two to six LSOAs
  • the average number of LSOAs in each ward for Adur and Worthing is three
• the boundaries of LSOAs match up to those of wards
• LSOAs are allocated a number and not a name
• statistics, eg those for deprivation, are available down to LSOA level in many cases

Maps showing LSOAs for the districts and boroughs in West Sussex are available on the West Sussex JSNA (Joint Strategic Needs Assessment) website that West Sussex County Council (WSCC) and West Sussex NHS oversee.
