From the census · Chapter 3 of 16 Read the full chapter →

425 organisations are counted with Health & Wellness as their primary sector — 12% of everything with a sector on record, and the 3rd largest of 16. An estimated 73% of the sector is counted, measured against an independent listing rather than assumed.

The 467 listed on this page and the 425 counted above are different claims, not a discrepancy: this page lists everyone who works in Health & Wellness; the census counts those whose primary sector it is.

A location quotient: this sector's share of a parish against its share of the island. A quotient of one means "the same mix as the island", and should look like nothing. Hatched parishes hold too few of this sector to compare at all, and parishes holding fewer than 30 are drawn and tabled but never named in a sentence — a quotient over a handful moves on one new record.

12 Guernsey organisations in this sector have no parish on record — a real gap, not an exclusion, and the map fills in as verification proceeds; a further 27 organisations trade on Alderney, Sark or Herm and are counted in the island split rather than on this map.
