ONS · 361 councils · year to Year to mid-2024

Where did the change in deaths by local authority happen?

Every council’s change in deaths by local authority over one year, and how much of the country’s total movement each one holds. Concentration is a description of where figures moved, not of where anything went right or wrong.

Of the movement in deaths by local authority across 361 local authorities in the year to Year to mid-2024, 11.4% happened in the ten councils that moved most, and half of it in 81.

177 councils rose, 180 fell and 4 were unchanged. Adding the changes together gives −525; adding their sizes, ignoring direction, gives 21,163. There is no national series for this measure on the site, so only the councils' own figures appear here.

A share is of the gross movement: each council’s change taken as a size and added up, so a rise of 100 and a fall of 100 contribute 200, not nothing. The right-hand column adds the same councils’ changes with their signs, so the two columns differ wherever those councils moved in both directions.

What this establishes

It establishes how much of one year’s movement in these published figures sits in how few councils, and which councils those are. It does not establish why any council moved, and a large share is not a finding about a council: the councils with the largest populations and budgets hold the largest shares of most totals, in both directions.

Each council’s change is its own newest figure against its own figure a year earlier by period end; a council without both is listed with the reason and is left out of the shares. Councils that publish on different schedules therefore appear against slightly different periods, which the row states.

Of the movement in deaths by local authority across 361 local authorities in the year to Year to mid-2024, 11.4% happened in the ten councils that moved most, and half of it in 81.
