Notes

  • Official statistics in development. A death is identified as that of a person experiencing homelessness from the death registration record, where it shows the person was sleeping rough or living in a homeless shelter or hostel at the time; deaths are by the year they were registered, and only those of people aged 15 to 74 are counted. Identified deaths are a lower bound.
  • The ONS also estimates the deaths it cannot identify and allocates them to councils in proportion to those it can; those allocations do not add up to their regions, so they are not shown by council. Its estimates for England and Wales, the nations and the regions are a dataset of their own here. England and Wales includes the deaths of people who lived outside them, which no council's or nation's figure includes.
