Covid-19 in Islington, Newham, Tower Hamlets, Camden and Hackney rising
The PHE Week 41 report (ending 5 October) shows that Hackney, Newham and Tower Hamlets have a very similar total numbers of cases, but do remember that this data is not cases per thousand but for the total borough population, so more people means a higher number of cases.
The graphic below gives more detail on East London borough coronavirus cases by area.
The areas shown are the catchily named Middle Super Output Areas (MSOA) not borough wards. MSOAs are small areas with around 7,200 residents.
Stamford Hill North MSOA has the highest total at 38 confirmed cases.
Covid-19 data from the boroughs of Islington, Newham, Tower Hamlets, Camden and Hackney are used as these boroughs are similar in terms of demographics. (Note: If there are formal ‘comparator’ groups of London boroughs please let us know.)
