Description:
CPRD Aurum linked Rural-Urban classification data differentiate between rural and urban areas at the small area level. It may be important to distinguish between rural and urban areas when investigating differences in social and economic characteristics of small areas. Populations can vary in their composition between urban and rural areas, as can access to services, employment and educational opportunities, and quality of life.
The measures available for patient (England only) and practice postcode are: 2011 England and Wales Rural-Urban classification; 2015 Northern Ireland Rural-Urban classification; 2016 Scottish Rural-Urban classification.
