Specific groups in Hertfordshire have been disproportionately affected by the Cost of Living Crisis

Over 7,000 Hertfordshire residents shared with us how the Cost of Living Crisis has affected them not just financially, but physically and mentally as well. You can read local people's real-life stories in our full report here.

Through our analysis, we found that some demographic groups have been disproportionately impacted by the Cost of Living Crisis when compared to the average. These included:

• Single parents
• People under the age of 54
• Disabled people and those with a long-term condition
• Carers
• People from Black and Asian ethnic backgrounds
• People who are "Just about Managing"

Although this is where we found significant trends, this does not mean that other groups are not struggling. As we've seen, the rising cost of living has impacted many Hertfordshire residents in a multitude of different ways.

We have produced a series of fact sheets to show how particular groups within Hertfordshire have been disproportionately impacted by the Cost of Living Crisis.

Each fact sheet also includes information on where local people can access information, advice and support.
