A CSO Frontier Series Output- What is this?
The Standardised Confirmed Incidence Rate is the rate of incidence of COVID-19 in a population adjusted to a standard age distribution. Variations in the age distribution of the population from one area or status to another has an effect on the comparability of incidence rates between different areas or status. The Standardised Confirmed Incidence Rate is a synthetic measure that allows for comparison of incidence rates. While crude incidence rates are not directly comparable, the Standardised Confirmed Incidence Rate is comparable.
The key findings are:

| The above analysis is based on a 70% match rate between CIDR records and the Census of Population 2016 for Deprivation quintile calculations. For remaining records, an allocation process was used. | |||||

| Deprivation quintiles are based on the estimated deprivation in the Census of Population 2016 small areas. A high deprivation quintile will have prosperous households and vice-versa, so care must be taken in interpreting these figures as applying to groups of individuals and should not be interpreted as a precise representation of individual person or individual household deprivation levels. | |||||
