Comparability Factors
To enable local vital statistics to be compared with other districts or with national figures, the
Registrar General issues comparability factors for correcting crude birth and death rates. These factors
make allowance for the way in which the sex and age distribution of the local population differs from that
for England and Wales as a whole. The death rate comparability factor has been adjusted specifically to
take account of the presence of residential institutions in the area.
To compare the crude 1966 rates for Haringey with the national rates, Haringey's figures must first
be multiplied by the appropriate comparability factors, which are 0.92 for births and 0.97 for deaths.
