"Community life in Britain has weakened substantially over the past 30 years, according to research commissioned by the BBC. Analysis of census data reveals how neighbourhoods in every part of the UK have become more socially fragmented. The study assesses the health of a community by looking at how rooted people are in their neighbourhood. Academics created "loneliness indices", to identify where people had a "feeling of not belonging"."
They have published some maps of the UK with colour codes of each area for loneliness.
"An extraordinary and troubling story is told by these maps" Mark Easton
