Coronavirus deaths per Scarborough and Whitby postcode area revealed

The Office for National Statistics has released new data on where Scarborough's coronavirus victims lived according to postcode.

The ONS has divided deaths occurring between 1 March 2020 and 17 April 2020 and registered by 18 April 2020 into middle layer super output areas (MSOAs) based on each patient's home address. MSOA are areas with similarly sized populations that remain stable over time. The figures refer to deaths where Covid-19 was the underlying cause or was mentioned on the death certificate as a contributory factor and exclude deaths of non-residents. For comparison, the total number of deaths of all causes during the same time period is also included below.
