Greater Essex Shared Evidence Base

Welcome to the Greater Essex Shared Evidence Base

This tool brings together key data and insights that tell the story of Greater Essex —all in one easy-to-use place. It’s designed to give everyone—from local organisations to community groups—access to clear, reliable information about our county.

Think of it as your go-to hub for reliable data and insight. Whether you’re interested in the local economy, transport, health, or other key topics, these dashboards make it simple to explore and understand what’s going on. 

By sharing this information in one place, we can all make better decisions that shape the future of Greater Essex. The information included in the dashboards will continue to grow in 2026.

Why does this matter? Because good data leads to better outcomes. When we work from the same evidence, we can:

• Make decisions based on evidence
• Save time and resources by reducing duplication
• Build confidence in the choices that affect our communities
• Deliver services and projects that have real impact.

The Shared Evidence Base is here to help everyone —from councils and businesses to residents—understand the bigger picture and plan for a stronger, more connected Greater Essex.
