This indicator tracks the number of collisions in which people are either killed or seriously injured (as defined by national police recording rules). This is the most reliable measure because such incidents are the most likely to be reported to the police. The indicator is measured per 1,000 population to take into account the effect of a rising population over time.
Research of incidents over the last decade showed that about 20% to 25% of serious injuries each year are deemed life-threatening or life-changing.
While Jersey's roads are safer today than 20 years ago, it has proved difficult to achieve a consistent reduction in crashes resulting in serious injury over the last decade.
2023 saw a decrease in the rate of serious road traffic collisions resulting in serious injury per 1,000 population, from 0.59 per 1,000 in 2022 to 0.48 in 2023.

This indicator combines data from the States of Jersey Fire and Rescue Service on the number of fires in Jersey with demographic data to produce a rate of fires per 1,000 population. It tracks fire safety in Jersey over time while taking into account the effects of a growing population. The indicator is measured per 1,000 population to take into account the effect of a rising population over time. 


2023 saw a steady increase in the number of fires per 1,000 population, from 1.40 per 1,000 in 2020 to 1.80.

This indicator counts the number of Short-Term Incapacity Allowance (STIA) benefit claims for full time equivalent (FTE) employees received by the Customer and Local Services department for work-related injuries or ill-health each year. It does not provide a full picture of all work-related accidents and ill-health as not all incidents result in benefit claims, but it offers an independent, reliable insight into key trends in work-related injuries and ill-health. Dividing the total number of claims by FTE employees takes into account the impact of a changing workforce size. The FTE figure is a weighted average for the calendar year produced by Statistics Jersey, which takes into account both full-time and part-time employees.
The number of claims reduced steadily up until about 2013 from when it has remained reasonably stable."

It is also about whether people feel safe, which is why this indicator focuses on public perceptions of safety. It uses data collected using the Jersey Opinions and Lifestyle Survey, which asks a representative sample of adults about the safety of their neighbourhoods in order to build a picture of community safety across the whole Island. Respondents are asked: 'How safe or unsafe do you consider your neighbourhood to be (within five minutes’ walk of your home)' and can answer: very safe; fairly safe; a bit unsafe; very unsafe; or, don't know. Overall perceptions of safety (very safe and fairly safe) are so high in Jersey that this indicator focuses on the percentage of respondents who say very safe to allow scope for improvement.
Overall in 2023, 90% of Islanders said their neighbourhood is very safe or fairly safe with 52% recording a very safe response. The proportion who say very safe has decreased from 63% in 2022 to 52% in 2023.

5	6	2023-07-31T00:00:00	"This data is collected using the Schools Survey, which is open to all pupils in Years 6, 8, 10 and 12. Respondents are asked if they have been bullied at or near school in the last 12 months. This indicator tracks the proportion of children in Years 6, 8 and 10 who say they have been bullied.
Over the last decade, about one in four children in Years 6, 8 and 10 have consistently reported being afraid of going to school at least sometimes because of bullying. This is consistent with the proportion who report being bullied. The proportion of children who report being afraid 'often' or 'very often' has also remained at about 5%. Of children who reported having been bullied, 51% said their school usually or always took bullying seriously compared to 68% of children who hadn't been bullied."

In 2025, the proportion of adults with high or very high information  security vulnerability was 49%."
7	19	2024-12-31T00:00:00	"This value is taken from responses to Jersey Children and Young People’s Survey (JCYPS) set of questions: ""How often spend time with parents"" (Score: Daily 5; weekly 4; monthly 3; less than monthly 2; never 1) and the median score of parental relationship matrix question : strongly agree = 5; agree = 4; don’t know = 3; disagree = 2; strongly disagree = 1.
In 2024, 76% of young people scored high (4 or 5) levels of parental time spent and relationship."
8	11	2023-07-31T00:00:00	"The global public health recommendation is that infants should be exclusively breastfed for the first six months of life to achieve optimal growth, development and health, before starting mixed feeding alongside ongoing breastfeeding, where possible. This indicator uses data from the 6 to 8 week development assessment by GPs, to track breastfeeding rates. Across different local authorities in England, breastfeeding rates vary between 21% and 80%. Such variation is not just down to personal choice; it is also about personal and societal circumstances. This indicator helps promote a dialogue about barriers that might prevent mothers in Jersey from breastfeeding and supports the evaluation of different interventions over time.

The percentage of mothers who are breastfeeding (either fully or partially) at 6 - 8 weeks has dropped back to a similar level as in 2021, after a 5% increase in the previous year.

In 2022, Jersey’s mean average per capita consumption was 12 litres of pure alcohol per person aged 15 or older. The level of per capita consumption has remained fairly constant over recent years after a steady reduction from 2000 to 2013 . The current level of consumption equates to approximately 2.6 bottles of wine or 8.1 pints of strong beer or over half a bottle of spirits per week and is in excess of the NHS current recommended guidelines of 14 units per week (approximately 1.6 bottles of wine or 5 pints of strong beer)."
10	22	2023-12-31T00:00:00	"This data is collected using the Jersey Opinions and Lifestyle Survey which surveys a representative sample of adults in Jersey. Respondents are asked how often they smoke cigarettes and are given a range of options from never to daily. This indicator monitors the proportion of adults who currently smoke, either daily or occasionally (not including e-cigarettes).
Overall, Jersey has seen a significant reduction in the proportion of the population who smoke from 25% in 2005 down to 15% in 2019. The proportion of adults who reported that they had never smoked has also significantly increased over this period, from 45% in 2005 to 53% in 2020. Consistent with the decline in reported smoking, the volume of tobacco imported into Jersey has reduced significantly over time, down by nearly 40% between 2013 and 2019. Imports dropped by over 19% in 2019 alone.
In 2023, the proportion of people who reported smoking at least occasionally was 14% only slightly higher that the low of 13% in 2021.

Data on local consumption is gathered through the Jersey Opinions and Lifestyle Survey, which surveys a representative sample of adults. Respondents are asked 'how many portions of fruit or vegetables did you eat yesterday'. Responses are categorised into: 0 portions; 1-4 portions; and, 5+ portions (equal to or above the NHS recommended level).
In 2023, only 32% of Jersey adults reported having eaten five or more fruit or vegetable portions the previous day and this percentage has been fairly similar over the period 2013 to 2021.
In the UK, 29% of adults report meeting the guidelines but, again, the proportion has not changed over time."

Respondents are asked how many times in a typical week they do at least moderate activity for 30 minutes or longer. The indicator tracks the proportion of adults whose reported levels of physical activity meet national guidelines.
Between 2012 and 2017, questions on physical activity were included on a regular basis in the annual social surveys. The results showed that just over 50% of adults reported meeting recommended levels of physical activity. In 2019, the survey question was changed so it is not possible to compare the results and a new trendline will be started. Notwithstanding this change, the results remain relatively consistent with 51% of Jersey adults reporting in 2019 that they do at least the equivalent of 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week. This had increased to 55% by 2023."

Multi-morbidity is commonly defined as the presence of two or more chronic medical conditions in a patient. These are conditions that currently have no cure, and may be managed with drugs and other treatment. As populations age, the level of multi-morbidity is likely to increase, which will have implications for health and social care provision. GPs record patients with 12 long-term conditions as part of the Jersey Quality Improvement Framework (JQIF). These conditions are a good basis for multi-morbidity analysis and they are agreed amongst clinicians as being important. They are: atrial fibrillation; asthma; coronary heart disease; chronic kidney disease; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; dementia; diabetes; heart failure; hypertension; mental health problems; obesity; stroke and transient ischemic attack. There are now 12 long-term conditions reported (we no longer include Cancer as part of JQIF).
These values were recalculated in 2023 using the updated population estimates produced earlier that year.

The data is gathered from the Jersey Opinions and Lifestyle Survey, which surveys a representative sample of adults in Jersey. Respondents score themselves between zero and ten in answer to the question: ‘Overall, how satisfied are you with your life nowadays’, with zero being not at all satisfied and ten being completely satisfied. The indicator counts those who score seven or more as a % of total responses. Before 2017, a different version of the question was used but Jersey's results can now be compared directly with those produced in the UK and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development.
In 2023, the proportion of adults reporting high levels of life satisfaction was 66% - up from the result in 2020 (64%). Both scores are significantly below the 82% recorded in 2018.

They can face barriers in accessing services that many take for granted, including health, education, employment, and transport. The research for the 2017 Disability Strategy highlighted how such challenges contribute to significant differences in life satisfaction between disabled Islanders and the rest of the population. This indicator uses data from the Jersey Opinions and Lifestyle Survey, which surveys a representative sample of adults in Jersey, to track how this gap in life satisfaction changes over time.
The survey asks respondents to score themselves between 0 to 10 in answer to the question: ‘Overall, how satisfied are you with your life nowadays’, with zero being not at all satisfied and ten being completely satisfied. This indicator focuses on the difference in the percentage of the population with a high life satisfaction (7 to 10) between (a) Islanders with a long-term condition that affects their daily lives and (b) the rest of the population.
For adults without a long-standing condition that affects their day-to-day lives, 71% scored their life satisfaction as 7 or more out of 10. The equivalent for those with a long-term condition that affects their day-to-day lives was 50%. Hence, the gap would be 21%. In 2023, the gap was 27%, this is a return to pre 2020 levels after a reduction in 2022."

Despite its small size, Jersey contains an incredibly diverse range of natural habitats. The Island's geographical position, and favourable climate, has resulted in a mixture of British and European animals and plants, some of which can only be found in the Channel Islands. Jersey has made international commitments to conserve its species, habitats and ecosystems, for which the designation of Sites of Special Interest (SSI) is a vital component. Protecting the Island's natural environment also contributes significantly to Islanders' overall quality of life. Engaging with nature, for example, can benefit mental and physical wellbeing. This indicator covers the extent in hectares of protected areas above the mean high water level (where geological and ecological sites coincide, the land area is only counted once). The first ecological SSIs were designated in 1996 to satisfy the requirements of international conventions. To-date, 28 Sites of Special Ecological Interest and 22 Sites of Special Geological Interest have been designated. The total area covered, 548 hectares, equates to about 5% of Jersey's land area, and includes key habitats such as wetlands, woodland, hedgerows, maritime heath, coastal sand dunes and grassland. Only about 20% of Jersey’s key semi-natural habitats are protected by SSI designation, so a large area of critical natural habitat remains unprotected. Three new ecological SSIs, covering 17 hectares, were added along the coast of St Ouen's Bay at the beginning of 2020.

37	57	2022-12-31T00:00:00	"This indicator tracks the extent of the countryside access routes available to the public. The substantial feedback to the public consultation on the 2016 Countryside Access Strategy highlighted the value that Islanders place on such access. It encourages community engagement with the outdoors and raises levels of personal connectivity with the natural world and environmental awareness in its broadest sense. In addition, it provides for people's sporting, recreational and leisure needs.  Jersey has an extensive network of paths across public and private land in some of the Island’s most beautiful landscapes. The paths are used by an estimated 100,000 people a year, including locals and visitors and they help meet wider strategic agendas for improving physical and mental health and wellbeing while adding a significant economic value to our landscape. Access should be, safe, sustainable, and cost effective, with minimal impact on biodiversity. It should also be available to everyone. The strategy aims to improve access for all different user groups by providing multi-user paths, adding new routes, improving connectivity and resilience of the network.

"
38	61	2022-12-31T00:00:00	"The sustainable use of Jersey's water resources is essential to individual and community wellbeing, and for the protection of biodiversity and ecological systems. Islanders' water supplies rely largely on rainfall-dependent surface water, which is captured and stored in six main reservoirs. When full, they can provide about 120 days supply, based on current average daily demand. A desalination plant can boost this supply when rainfall levels are low, but can only meet about 50% of daily demand. Managing future demand will be essential and this indicator tracks the overall consumption of treated mains water per head of population.

More efficient energy use will help to protect households and businesses from the impact of increasing international energy prices, as well as reducing Jersey’s greenhouse gas emissions. In 2018, final energy consumption per person in Jersey was 2% higher than in 2017. However, over the five years from 2014 to 2018, consumption has been relatively flat at around 150,000 toe, acknowledging the effect of warmer or colder winters. FEC per capita in Jersey from 2017 to 2022, has mostly remained around 1.3/1.4 toe. In 2024, final energy consumption per person in Jersey has gradually decreased from 1.32 in 2022 to 1.27.

The protocol requires Jersey to reduce its carbon emissions by 80% by 2050, relative to 1990 levels. This indicator tracks Jersey's performance in reducing its greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), measured in kilotonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (ktCOe). Jersey's GHG emissions rose from 628 ktCOe in 1990 to a peak in 1998 of 782 ktCOe. Over the next decade they reduced, thanks largely to the installation of subsea cables from France which enabled a reduction in local electricity generation using fuel oil. Please note that all back series have been updated due to methodology improvements made in line with the international best practice.
In 2021 Jersey emitted 369 ktCOe.

In a pressured rental market, lower income households will be the worst affected. This can lead to overcrowding, poorer housing choices and growing demand for social housing or income support. This indicator uses an international definition of housing stress, which is the proportion of low income households that spend more than 30% of their income on rent. It focuses on low income households (those in the lowest 40% of the equivalised income distribution) because some higher earning households can afford to spend more than 30% of their non-equivalised income on rent. There are three main types of rental accommodation in Jersey: private rental for people with residential qualifications; unqualified private rental; and, social rental. This indicator focuses on private rental for people with residential qualifications, as this is the sector where the greatest proportion of households live in rental stress. This indicator uses data collected by the Jersey Household Income and Spending Survey, which is run every five years. The last report was published in 2023.

It tracks the amount of money households have to spend or save after financial commitments such as taxes, social security and rates. The median household income is the point at which half of Jersey households have a higher income and half have a lower income (the income of the average household. The data is sourced from Jersey's Household Spending and Income Survey which is run every five years, with the last being completed in 2015. The figures are adjusted through a process called equivalisation, to allow comparisons across different household sizes and make-up (e.g. numbers of children versus adults). They are also adjusted for inflation so comparisons can be made across years (previous values being adjusted to the most recent value)

Between 2010 and 2015, median weekly household income before housing costs decreased in real terms (i.e. taking into account the effect of inflation) by 7.6% from £736 to £680 a week, but this has now increased to £860 in 2022.

If earnings are growing faster than inflation, it shows that people in work are better off. This indicator tracks the change in mean average earnings in Jersey over time. It is presented as an index set at 100 in 1990 so that the change in the real value of earnings can be compared by allowing for inflation. The Covid-19 pandemic has inevitably had a significant impact on the 2020 results. The latest annual increase in average earnings in the private sector was the lowest recorded since private sector earnings were first reported separately in 1995, but this was balanced by an exceptionally low inflation rate in June 2020. This was driven by temporary government relief measures (e.g. withdrawal of parking charges). 
Following two years of small real-term decreases (when inflation outpaced average earnings), Jersey's real terms average earnings index increased by 1.9% between June 2019 and June 2020. Over the longer term, average earnings in Jersey have essentially remained flat in real terms since 2001, with gains made up until 2009 being lost in the subsequent decade.
In 2024 the change in the value of average earnings allowing for the effect of inflation has increased slightly since the previous year - 114.90.

Healthy life expectancy (HLE) is an extension of life expectancy, that combines mortality data with general health status data, to produce estimates of the span of life that a person can expect to live in 'very good' or 'good' health. HLE at birth is the number of years a newborn child could expect to live in 'good' or 'very good' health. It is calculated using the previous 3 years' worth of data for each data point.


HLE at birth reduced from 68.1 years in 2017 to a low of 62.0 years in 2021 before increasing slightly to 63.5 years 2022.

47	24	2022-12-31T00:00:00	"Expected years in poor health at age 65 is a combination of two measures: Life Expectancy at 65 years and Healthy Life Expectancy at 65 years. By subtracting the HLE at 65 years from the LE at 65 years we can estimate the number of years a 65 year old can averagely expect to spend in poor health. Ideally, through good healthcare and public health awareness we would seek to increase the overall Life Expectancy of the population while also increasing the Healthy life Expectancy thus minimising years spent in poor health.

Over the period 2018 to 2021, the Expected years in poor health increased from 7.4 to 9.9 before dropping back to 9.1 in 2022.

This indicator uses data from the 6 to 8 week development assessment by GPs, to track breastfeeding rates. Across different local authorities in England, breastfeeding rates vary between 21% and 80%. Such variation is not just down to personal choice; it is also about personal and societal circumstances. This indicator helps promote a dialogue about barriers that might prevent mothers in Jersey from breastfeeding and supports the evaluation of different interventions over time.  
The percentage of mothers who are breastfeeding (either fully or partially) at 6 - 8 weeks has increased from 60.0% in 2017 to 62.0%.

In 2019, Skills Jersey was formed by bringing together Trident, Careers Guidance and Skills Coaching teams under one service. Any students identified as not having a destination past October are contacted by a Careers Guidance advisor to identify whether they are in employment, education or training. Support is then offered where applicable. Skills Jersey has also increased the support services delivered in partnership with schools and colleges that are proven to increase positive destinations: Career Guidance; Employer insights and contact; and 121 coaching and mentoring.
In 2021 90% of year 11 students in Jersey received 121 careers guidance appointments. In 2016 only 45% of year 11s were able to access this provision. For those needing a longer-term support, the coaching and mentoring provision of Skills Jersey was created with 77% of those accessing this service acquiring a positive destination. Since 2020 Skills Jersey has supported 100% of Jersey's secondary schools and colleges to access direct employer contact or insights on an individual or group basis to help students link the education they are receiving to the world of work.

The data for this measure was collected using the 2021 and 2011 Censuses and calculating the percentage of 16 to 18 year olds that were not employed, self-employed or in full or part time education. There is currently work going on to improve how this measure is calculated with the aim of providing more timely data than what the 10 yearly Census can provide.
The % of those young people identified as NEET has fallen from 10.1% in 2011, to 8.4% in 2021.

They can face barriers in accessing services that many take for granted, including health, education, employment, and transport. The research for the 2017 Disability Strategy highlighted how such challenges contribute to significant differences in life satisfaction between disabled Islanders and the rest of the population. This indicator uses data from the Jersey Opinions and Lifestyle Survey, which surveys a representative sample of adults in Jersey, to track how this gap in life satisfaction changes over time. The survey asks respondents to score themselves between 0 to 10 in answer to the question: ‘Overall, how satisfied are you with your life nowadays’, with zero being not at all satisfied and ten being completely satisfied. This indicator focuses on the difference in the percentage of the population with a high life satisfaction (7 to 10) between (a) Islanders with a long-term condition that affects their daily lives and (b) the rest of the population.

Whilst the monitoring of butterfly populations has been carried out in the UK since 1976, Jersey's Butterfly Monitoring Scheme was initiated in 2004. Data is collected by a team of volunteers across 39 sites which cover wildlife, agricultural and urban areas. The counts of butterflies are converted into an annual index of abundance for each species using the national methodology. By giving the count of butterflies in 2004 a value of 100, the subsequent long-term trend in abundance can be monitored over time. Improvements in the modelling technique means that the data is recalibrated regularly. 


It is important to note that, by the time Jersey's monitoring programme started, butterflies had been in substantial decline nationally for nearly 30 years. Jersey faces a similar challenge, as shown by the fact that large areas of the Island are now lacking in butterflies, especially in Jersey's interior. Large annual fluctuations in butterfly populations are to be expected, principally in response to weather conditions, so it is important to consider long-term trends not comparisons between years. Jersey is beginning to see a moderate long-term increase in butterfly abundance from the low 2004 base but this is not a consistent picture. There has been an observed increase in semi-natural habitat sites which are managed for their conservation interest, demonstrating that conservation intervention is working. Elsewhere, butterfly populations in urban areas are decreasing and those in agricultural areas are fluctuating but level overall.

Bird populations are widely recognised to be a good environmental indicator because they occupy a wide range of habitats and tend to be near the top of the food chain. The distribution, abundance and changes over time in wild populations are equally important in telling us about the state of the environment, as animal communities are good indicators of the condition of the habitat itself. 
This indicator is calculated from the findings of the British Trust for Ornithology's annual Breeding Bird Survey and counts the number of 44 different species of birds per hectare across farmland and suburban habitats. Scientific monitoring by the Breeding Birds Survey shows bird populations in Jersey’s farmland and suburban habitats have been in rapid decline since 1996. This is also happening in the UK and Europe. However, the decline is not inevitable. Like butterflies, some bird species in Jersey's semi-natural habitats are increasing; demonstrating that habitat conservation management is successful in halting the decline of species.

Despite its small size, Jersey contains an incredibly diverse range of natural habitats. The Island's geographical position, and favourable climate, has resulted in a mixture of British and European animals and plants, some of which can only be found in the Channel Islands. Jersey has made international commitments to conserve its species, habitats and ecosystems, for which the designation of Sites of Special Interest (SSI) is a vital component. Protecting the Island's natural environment also contributes significantly to Islanders' overall quality of life. Engaging with nature, for example, can benefit mental and physical wellbeing.
This indicator covers the extent in hectares of protected areas above the mean high water level (where geological and ecological sites coincide, the land area is only counted once). The first ecological SSIs were designated in 1996 to satisfy the requirements of international conventions. To-date, 28 Sites of Special Ecological Interest and 22 Sites of Special Geological Interest have been designated. The total area covered, 548 hectares, equates to about 5% of Jersey's land area, and includes key habitats such as wetlands, woodland, hedgerows, maritime heath, coastal sand dunes and grassland. Only about 20% of Jersey’s key semi-natural habitats are protected by SSI designation, so a large area of critical natural habitat remains unprotected.

Many seas, oceans and coastal regions suffer from the adverse effect of human activity and in response some governments have established Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) to help restore and conserve fragile ecosystems. Jersey’s coastal waters are home to several internationally important habitats, the most notable of which are seagrass meadows, kelp forests and maerl, all of which play a role in local biodiversity and maintaining the health of our marine environment. 
The protection of these habitats from potential threats has led to the establishment of a network of MPAs around Jersey and on the offshore reefs at Les Écréhous and Les Minquiers. These MPAs prohibit activities that most threaten the marine species and habitats, including the use of mobile fishing gear such as dredges and trawls. Creating and registering an MPA is a complex process that requires detailed evidence gathering, careful analysis, local and international consultation and law drafting. For this reason, it takes time for MPAs to be established, but once in place the benefits to marine life and general marine environment will often extend far beyond the boundaries of the protected area.

Many seas, oceans and coastal regions suffer from the adverse effect of human activity and in response some governments have established Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) to help restore and conserve fragile ecosystems. Jersey’s coastal waters are home to several internationally important habitats, the most notable of which are seagrass meadows, kelp forests and maerl, all of which play a role in local biodiversity and maintaining the health of our marine environment. 
The protection of these habitats from potential threats has led to the establishment of a network of MPAs around Jersey and on the offshore reefs at Les Écréhous and Les Minquiers. These MPAs prohibit activities that most threaten the marine species and habitats, including the use of mobile fishing gear such as dredges and trawls. Creating and registering an MPA is a complex process that requires detailed evidence gathering, careful analysis, local and international consultation and law drafting. For this reason, it takes time for MPAs to be established, but once in place the benefits to marine life and general marine environment will often extend far beyond the boundaries of the protected area.   
In 2017, the area covered by Marine Protected Areas in Jersey's territorial waters increased from 88.00 in 2014 to 151.00.

This new indicator tracks the extent of the countryside access routes available to the public. The substantial feedback to the public consultation on the 2016 Countryside Access Strategy highlighted the value that Islanders place on such access. It encourages community engagement with the outdoors and raises levels of personal connectivity with the natural world and environmental awareness in its broadest sense. In addition, it provides for people's sporting, recreational and leisure needs.  Jersey has an extensive network of paths across public and private land in some of the Island’s most beautiful landscapes. The paths are used by an estimated 100,000 people a year, including locals and visitors and they help meet wider strategic agendas for improving physical and mental health and wellbeing while adding a significant economic value to our landscape. Access should be, safe, sustainable, and cost effective, with minimal impact on biodiversity. It should also be available to everyone. The strategy aims to improve access for all different user groups by providing multi-user paths, adding new routes, improving connectivity and resilience of the network.

This data shows the area (in hectares) of the largest intertidal seagrass (Zostera noltii) bed in St Aubin’s Bay. The measurement is made annually from the Government of Jersey’s aerial Island-wide photo, although some years the nature of the photo means that the area cannot be captured. There are two other areas for which seagrass data is collected (Grouville Bay and St Catherine’s Bay) but the St Aubin's site provides the most regular and reliable data.
Seagrass is a marine plant which is sensitive to disturbance and changes in the local environment relating to salinity, sea chemistry light and nutrients. For this reason, seagrass is widely used as an indicator of coastal water quality and general environmental quality. Seagrass also plays an important role in local and global carbon budgets through the storage of carbon in its root systems.
In 2011 the abundance of and indicator species (area of seagrass beds in Jersey marine environment) was 81 hectares.

The sustainable use of Jersey's water resources is essential to individual and community wellbeing, and for the protection of biodiversity and ecological systems. Islanders' water supplies rely largely on rainfall-dependent surface water, which is captured and stored in six main reservoirs. When full, they can provide about 120 days supply, based on current average daily demand. A desalination plant can boost this supply when rainfall levels are low, but can only meet about 50% of daily demand. Managing future demand will be essential and this indicator tracks the overall consumption of treated mains water per head of population.

If fewer people can afford to buy their own home, or there is an insufficient supply of social housing, the private rented sector becomes their only viable housing option. In a pressured rental market, lower income households will be the worst affected. This can lead to overcrowding, poorer housing choices and growing demand for social housing or income support. 
This indicator uses an international definition of housing stress, which is the proportion of low income households that spend more than 30% of their income on rent. It focuses on low income households (those in the lowest 40% of the equivalised income distribution) because some higher earning households can afford to spend more than 30% of their non-equivalised income on rent.

There are three main types of rental accommodation in Jersey: private rental for people with residential qualifications; unqualified private rental; and, social rental. This indicator focuses on private rental for people with residential qualifications, as this is the sector where the greatest proportion of households live in rental stress. 
This indicator uses data collected by the Jersey Household Income and Spending Survey, which is run every five years. 
In 2015, the percentage of low-income households in qualified private rental accommodation in rental stress increased from 52.0% in 2010 to 73.0%.

If fewer people can afford to buy their own home, or there is an insufficient supply of social housing, the private rented sector becomes their only viable housing option. In a pressured rental market, lower income households will be the worst affected. This can lead to overcrowding, poorer housing choices and growing demand for social housing or income support.

As well as considering the evidence on earnings, disposable income and relative low income, it is important to consider people's personal experience of making ends meet. This data is gathered using the Jersey Opinions and Lifestyle Survey (JOLS), which surveys a representative sample of adults in Jersey. Respondents are asked as a household, how easy or difficult they find it to cope financially and can answer: very easy; quite easy; neither easy nor difficult; quite difficult; or, very difficult. The indicator counts those who respond quite or very difficult as a proportion of total responses.

This indicator is recognised internationally as a measure of the standard of living. It tracks the amount of money households have to spend or save after financial commitments such as taxes, social security and rates. The median household income is the point at which half of Jersey households have a higher income and half have a lower income. The data is sourced from Jersey's Household Spending and Income Survey which is run every five years, with the last being completed in 2015. The figures are adjusted through a process called equivalisation, to allow comparisons across different household sizes and make-up (e.g. numbers of children versus adults). They are also adjusted for inflation so comparisons can be made across years.

NO2 can have a wide range of effects on human health, dependent on exposure times and concentrations. Short-term exposure can inflame and irritate airways. In addition, exposure can lead to reduced lung function and increased risk of respiratory illnesses, especially childhood asthma. NO2 is also involved in the formation of photochemical smog and acid rain and may cause damage to crops and vegetation.

The EC directive limit (and Jersey's 2013 Air Quality Strategy objective) for the annual mean NO2 concentration is 40 g m3.The NO2 concentration has reduced steadily from 31 g m3 in 2014 to 15.5 g m3 in 2023. In 2022 the reference analyser was moved from Halkett Place to Beresford Street resulting in a further reduction likely due to the influence of delivery vehicles and refuse lorry emissions at Halkett Place.

It accounts for seasonal changes in the most frequently contracted hours by comparing months on the same basis. Whilst often this results in very minor differences to the trend of earnings, it is important to do this so that any large changes in hours worked in sectors are accounted for.
 Nominal earnings can be adjusted using the Retail Prices Index (RPI) to provide real-term values (adjusted for inflation). As the RPI is only produced quarterly, the real-term index has to be interpolated between points. Quarterly changes in the RPI are split evenly across the three months of the quarter.
 
The Gini coefficient is an internationally recognised measure of income inequality, which aims to summarise the degree of sharing of income. For the Earnings in Jersey index, it summarises the degree of sharing of earnings across jobs. A Gini coefficient of zero indicates that earnings are evenly spread across jobs, with each job receiving the same proportion of earnings (that is, complete equality); whilst a Gini coefficient of one would represent a single job in the population receiving all the earnings and the rest of the population receiving nothing (that is, complete inequality).

It is also about whether people feel safe, which is why this indicator focuses on public perceptions of safety. It uses data collected using the Jersey Opinions and Lifestyle Survey, which asks a representative sample of adults about the safety of their neighbourhoods in order to build a picture of community safety across the whole Island. Respondents are asked: 'How safe or unsafe do you consider your neighbourhood to be (within five minutes’ walk of your home)' and can answer: very safe; fairly safe; a bit unsafe; very unsafe; or, don't know. Overall perceptions of safety (very safe and fairly safe) are so high in Jersey that this indicator focuses on the percentage of respondents who say very safe to allow scope for improvement.
The percentage of islanders who say their neighbourhood is very safe has decreased from 45% in 2009 to 41%.

It is important to note that, by the time Jersey's monitoring programme started, butterflies had been in substantial decline nationally for nearly 30 years. Jersey faces a similar challenge, as shown by the fact that large areas of the Island are now lacking in butterflies, especially in Jersey's interior. Large annual fluctuations in butterfly populations are to be expected, principally in response to weather conditions, so it is important to consider long-term trends not comparisons between years.

491	51	2018-12-31T00:00:00	"Given their sensitivity to environmental change, butterflies are recognised as an important barometer for the health of Jersey's ecosystems. Whilst the monitoring of butterfly populations has been carried out in the UK since 1976, Jersey's Butterfly Monitoring Scheme was initiated in 2004. Data is collected by a team of volunteers across 39 sites which cover wildlife, agricultural and urban areas. The counts of butterflies are converted into an annual index of abundance for each species using the national methodology. By giving the count of butterflies in 2004 a value of 100, the subsequent long-term trend in abundance can be monitored over time. Improvements in the modelling technique means that the data is recalibrated regularly. 
It is important to note that, by the time Jersey's monitoring programme started, butterflies had been in substantial decline nationally for nearly 30 years. Jersey faces a similar challenge, as shown by the fact that large areas of the Island are now lacking in butterflies, especially in Jersey's interior. Large annual fluctuations in butterfly populations are to be expected, principally in response to weather conditions, so it is important to consider long-term trends not comparisons between years. Jersey is beginning to see a moderate long-term increase in butterfly abundance from the low 2004 base but this is not a consistent picture. There has been an observed increase in semi-natural habitat sites which are managed for their conservation interest, demonstrating that conservation intervention is working. Elsewhere, butterfly populations in urban areas are decreasing and those in agricultural areas are fluctuating but level overall.

This indicator covers the extent in hectares of protected areas above the mean high water level (where geological and ecological sites coincide, the land area is only counted once). The first ecological SSIs were designated in 1996 to satisfy the requirements of international conventions. To-date, 28 Sites of Special Ecological Interest and 22 Sites of Special Geological Interest have been designated. The total area covered, 548 hectares, equates to about 5% of Jersey's land area, and includes key habitats such as wetlands, woodland, hedgerows, maritime heath, coastal sand dunes and grassland. Only about 20% of Jersey’s key semi-natural habitats are protected by SSI designation, so a large area of critical natural habitat remains unprotected.
In 2019, the area of Jersey’s land which is designated as SSI increased from 523.83 in 2016 to 531.24.

Jersey’s coastal waters are home to several internationally important habitats, the most notable of which are seagrass meadows, kelp forests and maerl, all of which play a role in local biodiversity and maintaining the health of our marine environment.
The protection of these habitats from potential threats has led to the establishment of a network of MPAs around Jersey and on the offshore reefs at Les Écréhous and Les Minquiers. These MPAs prohibit activities that most threaten the marine species and habitats, including the use of mobile fishing gear such as dredges and trawls. Creating and registering an MPA is a complex process that requires detailed evidence gathering, careful analysis, local and international consultation and law drafting. For this reason, it takes time for MPAs to be established, but once in place the benefits to marine life and general marine environment will often extend far beyond the boundaries of the protected area.

The measurement is made annually from the Government of Jersey’s aerial Island-wide photo, although some years the nature of the photo means that the area cannot be captured. There are two other areas for which seagrass data is collected (Grouville Bay and St Catherine’s Bay) but the St Aubin's site provides the most regular and reliable data.
Seagrass is a marine plant which is sensitive to disturbance and changes in the local environment relating to salinity, sea chemistry light and nutrients. For this reason, seagrass is widely used as an indicator of coastal water quality and general environmental quality. Seagrass also plays an important role in local and global carbon budgets through the storage of carbon in its root systems.
In 2021 the abundance of and indicator species (area of seagrass beds in Jersey marine environment) was 90 hectares.

There are two other areas for which seagrass data is collected (Grouville Bay and St Catherine’s Bay) but the St Aubin's site provides the most regular and reliable data. 
Seagrass is a marine plant which is sensitive to disturbance and changes in the local environment relating to salinity, sea chemistry light and nutrients. For this reason, seagrass is widely used as an indicator of coastal water quality and general environmental quality. Seagrass also plays an important role in local and global carbon budgets through the storage of carbon in its root systems.

717	51	2023-12-31T00:00:00	"Given their sensitivity to environmental change, butterflies are recognised as an important barometer for the health of Jersey's ecosystems. Whilst the monitoring of butterfly populations has been carried out in the UK since 1976, Jersey's Butterfly Monitoring Scheme was initiated in 2004. Data is collected by a team of volunteers across 39 sites which cover wildlife, agricultural and urban areas. The counts of butterflies are converted into an annual index of abundance for each species using the national methodology. By giving the count of butterflies in 2004 a value of 100, the subsequent long-term trend in abundance can be monitored over time. Improvements in the modelling technique means that the data is recalibrated regularly. 


It is important to note that, by the time Jersey's monitoring programme started, butterflies had been in substantial decline nationally for nearly 30 years. Jersey faces a similar challenge, as shown by the fact that large areas of the Island are now lacking in butterflies, especially in Jersey's interior. Large annual fluctuations in butterfly populations are to be expected, principally in response to weather conditions, so it is important to consider long-term trends not comparisons between years. Jersey is beginning to see a moderate long-term increase in butterfly abundance from the low 2004 base but this is not a consistent picture. There has been an observed increase in semi-natural habitat sites which are managed for their conservation interest, demonstrating that conservation intervention is working. Elsewhere, butterfly populations in urban areas are decreasing and those in agricultural areas are fluctuating but level overall. 


In 2023, the abundance of and indicator species (average count of 16 species of butterfly) decreased from 162.64 in 2021 to 109.62

This indicator focuses on the difference in the percentage of the population with a high life satisfaction (7 to 10) between (a) Islanders with a long-term condition that affects their daily lives and (b) the rest of the population.
In 2024 the gap in percentage of disabled islanders reporting high life satisfaction compared to the rest of the population increased from 22.0% in 2022 to 28.0%.

Respondents are asked ‘How do you rate the range of cultural events, attractions and activities available in Jersey', and can answer: very good; good; poor; or, very poor. The indicator is calculated by adding the number of very good and good responses, and dividing by the total responses.
In 2024, 51% of adults rated Jersey’s cultural events, attractions and activities as good (43%) or very good (8%). This is significantly lower than the proportion of Islanders rating either social and recreational (71%) or sporting events, attractions and activities (68%) as good or very good.


Young people were less likely to rate the existing cultural offer as highly as older people and only 38% of people aged 16 to 34 years rated it as good or very good, compared to 62% of people aged 65+ years.

The substantial feedback to the public consultation on the 2016 Countryside Access Strategy highlighted the value that Islanders place on such access. It encourages community engagement with the outdoors and raises levels of personal connectivity with the natural world and environmental awareness in its broadest sense. In addition, it provides for people's sporting, recreational and leisure needs.  Jersey has an extensive network of paths across public and private land in some of the Island’s most beautiful landscapes. The paths are used by an estimated 100,000 people a year, including locals and visitors and they help meet wider strategic agendas for improving physical and mental health and wellbeing while adding a significant economic value to our landscape. Access should be, safe, sustainable, and cost effective, with minimal impact on biodiversity. It should also be available to everyone. The strategy aims to improve access for all different user groups by providing multi-user paths, adding new routes, improving connectivity and resilience of the network.

This indicator combines the number of crimes recorded by the police with demographic data to take into account changes in population. It should be noted that police recorded crime statistics can be affected by changes in policing activity and recording practice and by the willingness of victims to report. As such, they can only cover crimes that come to the attention of the police. The headline figures also hides variations both within and across crime types. As such, this indicator is a useful supplement to other indicators on community safety and should invite analysis to understand the reasons behind significant variations over time.
The indicator is measured per 1,000 population to take into account the effect of a rising population over time. 2024 saw a slight increase in the rate of crimes recorded by the police, from 30.10, per 1,000 in 2021 to 32.8 in 2024.

761	28	2024-12-31T00:00:00	"Multi-morbidity is commonly defined as the presence of two or more chronic medical conditions in a patient. These are conditions that currently have no cure, and may be managed with drugs and other treatment. As populations age, the level of multi-morbidity is likely to increase, which will have implications for health and social care provision. GPs record patients with 12 long-term conditions as part of the Jersey Quality Improvement Framework (JQIF). These conditions are a good basis for multi-morbidity analysis and they are agreed amongst clinicians as being important. They are: atrial fibrillation; asthma; coronary heart disease; chronic kidney disease; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; dementia; diabetes; heart failure; hypertension; mental health problems; obesity; stroke and transient ischemic attack. There are now 12 long-term conditions reported (we no longer include Cancer as part of JQIF).
In 2024 the percentage of population with 2 or more conditions increased from 12.0% in 2021 to 14.0%.
