Comparability Factors
In view of the differing sex and age distribution of local populations, the General Register Office 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.
