Data is calculated by dividing the seven day count by the area population and multiplying by 100,000.

The Middle Layer Super Output Areas (MSOA) rate in the map uses colour to indicate the level of weekly cases across different parts of the town.

In order to help to identify trends or patterns in the data over time, seven-day rolling averages can be calculated.

Each day's observation is combined with the previous three days and the following three days, and the mean of all seven days' figures is presented.

For indicators where the most recent days' data are incomplete, the final few points in the rolling average series will not be displayed, as the averages will increase when data are complete.
