Your ward in numbers: Health and Care in Pype Hayes

Understanding our local health and support needs helps ensure that services like adult social care (support for older or disabled adults to live independently) reach those who need them most. ## The key numbers * 20.5% of Pype Hayes residents are Disabled under the Equality Act, which is higher than the Birmingham average of 17.3%. * 45% of our residents describe their health as Very good health, which is slightly lower than the 47.6% seen across Birmingham. * 2% of people in Pype Hayes report Very bad health, which is higher than the city-wide figure of 1.5%. * 79.5% of our population are Not disabled under the Equality Act, compared to 82.7% across Birmingham. ## What this means for you The data shows that our ward has a slightly higher proportion of residents living with health conditions or disabilities compared to the wider city. This information is vital for the council when planning early intervention and prevention services, which aim to help people stay healthy and independent for longer. It also underscores the importance of local cost of living support, as health and financial well-being are often closely linked. If you need help with care, support at home, or financial advice, the council is working to ensure these services are available to you. Birmingham City Council payments to suppliers over £500 for July 2026 totalled 45180421 (£), reflecting the scale of investment in adult social care and wider health support across the city. ## How to have your say You can report issues at https://dannycarter.org.uk/report or contact Cllr Danny Carter's office. ## Where the figures come from * Birmingham City Council payments to suppliers over £500, https://cityobservatory.birmingham.gov.uk/explore/assets/payments-to-suppliers-over-gbp500/ * ONS Census 2021 TS037 via Nomis, https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/datasets/c2021ts037 * ONS Census 2021 TS038 via Nomis, https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/datasets/c2021ts038
