Comparability Factors
In view of the differing sex and age distribution of local populations, the
General Register Officer supplies factors for adjusting the birth and death rates
to enable comparisons to be made with the rates for other areas and the country
as a whole. In addition, the Death Rate Area Comparability Factor is adjusted
to take account of the presence of any residential institution in the area.
The Comparability Factors for Enfield are: Births 1.04 Deaths 0.95.
