Data story
I was born in D1. This map made that feel different.
A Newcastle Metro map story about deprivation, life expectancy and why local health inequality must change.
Gerontology, statistics, places
Gerostats
I am Andrew Kingston. Gerostats is where I put the numbers that stay with me: ageing, care, disability, deprivation and the local geographies that make inequality feel close rather than abstract. Think of it as a digital garden for public health statistics: planted notes, live methods, data stories and tools that can keep growing.
What this is
A place to work through ageing, care and inequality.
Gerostats is for the questions that keep coming back in my work: who grows older in good health, who provides care, where disability clusters, and how place changes the story. The pieces here are a mix of data stories, methods and working notes.
Digital garden
Recently cultivated notes.
Methods, knowledge-base guides and project write-ups replanted here in Gerostats so they can keep growing.

I am a statistical epidemiologist from the North East. I work on ageing, multimorbidity, disability, care need, health expectancy and health inequalities, but this site is also about why those numbers matter to me personally.
