Comparability Factor
To make approximate allowance for the way in which the sex and age distribution
of the Borough population differs from that for England and Wales as a whole, the
Registrar-General has issued the following comparability factors for Leyton.
Area comparability factor for births 1.01
Area comparability factor for deaths 0.79
These factors, when applied to the crude rates, produce the
following adjusted rates:-
Live Births 15.14
Deaths 11.84
