How long you could live, binge drinking levels and smoking rates are now online for 160 parts of Cumbria.

Residents can view the health stats for their area thanks to an NHS Cumbria initiative showing maps, charts and tables of vital health information for their council ward.

The data has been collated in partnership with the Cumbria Intelligence Observatory – a multi-agency service which provides public bodies with statistical information.

There are different 'maps' that you can use to check the stats and compare them with other areas:
