The Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) provides an overview of the needs of local residents and intelligence to Dudley Health and Wellbeing Board (HWBB). This supports the Board to fulfil its responsibility for improving the health and wellbeing of all Dudley Borough residents and reducing inequalities.

The first Census 2021 results showed that Dudley had an estimated population of 323,500 on Census Day, 21 March 2022, a 3.4% increase on the number in 2011. Information is available on the results from Census 2021 along with summaries by topic and ways to access census data.

The Dudley Borough In Numbers infographic gives a visual representation of facts and figures about the borough.  It features key aspects of the area including population, housing, the environment, employment education, health and tourism. An updated version for April 2024 is now available.
