The 7 most prosperous, happy, and healthy places in England

Accounting firm Grant Thornton released its "Vibrant Economy Index" which measures how areas across the England compare on a range of factors, from prosperity and opportunity to wellbeing and health.

The data, which looks at all 324 local authorities across England, was used to create an index of the most vibrant places, where there is a good balance between economic growth, social equality, sustainability, and happy people.

The ranking, based on 52 measures of performance, finds that scoring highly in the 'Prosperity' category does not always correspond to high scores in the other categories, which are: 'Dynamism & Opportunity,' 'Inclusion & Equality,' 'Health, Wellbeing & Happiness,' 'Resilience & Sustainability,' and 'Community, Trust & Belonging.'

In each category, 100 is the national average. Take a look at the list below.
