For 2019 to 2023, the figures across Wales are 78.1 and 81.9. At the 2021 Census, 90 people reported bad or very bad health for every 100 expected from Tregarth’s ages at England and Wales’s rates. Tregarth grades C+ for health: life expectancy, healthy life expectancy, and Census bad health and disability, each adjusted for age.
Tregarth grades C+ for health
Healthier than 38% of UK towns, on age-adjusted measures.
Behind the typical UK town on every measure. Even its strongest, Census bad health and men’s years in good health, are in the bottom 50% of UK towns; disability and women’s years in good health are furthest behind. Among the 1,215 UK towns of 1,000 to 2,000 people, Tregarth’s Health Grade is the 990th highest.
Each measure is ranked against every UK town of 1,000 or more, the ranks are averaged, and the average is ranked again. Every measure allows for the town’s ages: life expectancy is worked out from the death rate at each age, so it doesn’t depend on how old the town’s residents are; the Census answers are counted against what England and Wales’s rates by single year of age would give a town with these ages, so a seaside town of retired people isn’t marked down for being old.
Welsh towns’ Health Grades use ONS’s small-area life expectancy and healthy life expectancy for 2019 to 2023, and two Census 2021 measures, bad health and disability, adjusted for age. English towns’ also use OHID’s small-area early deaths, hospital admissions and child obesity, which OHID publishes for England only.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Adjusted for age. A ratio of 100 means as many deaths, admissions or reports of bad health as England’s rates (England and Wales’s for the Census) would give a town with these ages; 120 means a fifth more.
- Small areas, summed to the town. The Census measures are counted for the town’s own output areas.
- Different years. The Census was taken in March 2021. NHS sites are as listed by NHS Wales in October 2026.
- Distances are straight lines. Miles are measured from the town’s centre to each site; the road is longer. For an emergency, call 999; for urgent advice, call NHS 111.
