I just looked on the gov website and there is loads of different statistics on there is a postcode search for your area and apparently there have been 4 deaths in my post code area from covid in the last 7 days, only strange thing is my post code only has 6 houses in it all used to be one farm and we are 4 miles away from the nearest village, not one person in my postcode or area has died so how has the number reached 4???

It could have been a genuine typo error. It should have read in the last 700 years.

The one that says at the link that deaths are only available at a local authority level?

It won’t use your exact postcode… it will use the postcode to work out your local council area… and it will be those statistics you will be seeing

"Post code covers whole area of the first 2 digits DG for example "

If that's the case (and not saying it isn't) but...why don't they just say... "enter the first 2 characters of your post code only"? Remove any misleading or misunderstanding?

Agree…. But this is what they do! Keep everyone confused, leave it to assumption.

Why don’t they keep things simple, keep things accurate and truthful? I wonder???

Simple consistent accurate and relevant communication would be a great help and as in this case.... Not difficult to do.

Why is it left to assumption when it clearly states it is local council level, if that changes as you go through the local data it says so.

As with a lot of things people read the headline and not the story

Another non-event due to people being unwilling or unable to actually read the definitions around the data.

Yep. When I put my postcode in it give a case rate for my local area, then deaths, admissions etc for the whole of Birmingham. Pretty clear if you bother to read it.

Incidentally, deaths for Birmingham have been running at one for the last couple of weeks. I

Nope.. it’s more specific than just the first 2… it’s the first half (the 1st 3 or 4 digits… the last 3 doesn’t mater)

That what works out your local council.. and it’s those local statistics you would be seeing

I'd be very surprised to see Chesterfield, Derby and other parts of Derbyshire etc listed together, when several local councils exist there. I'd go back to the ONS site, read the instructions and explanations of data output, etc.

To add some context here -

The postcode Area is the first letter combination (SW, GU, B etc).

The postcode District is smaller and adds the first number (SW1, GU2, B1 etc).

The postcode sector is smaller still and includes the number after the space (CM1 4).

The level is the postcode unit - the two letters at the end that designate a small group of houses or flats.

I'm also pretty certain that postcode area is what Fab uses to determine which region you're in.

Have been back on gov website and as people have commented its my local population not my post code, turns out it's the most vague statistic going and out of my local population of 130000 people 4 have died within 28 days of a positive covid test.

Yes you can.

Fortunately I used the example given on the government website. I certainly don't live in central Westminster.

It searches by area/group of streets and not by a single street simply because the data may become 'personally identifying data' which is illegal to disclose under GDPR.

So, I've had a look. It searches on Lower Super Output Area (LSOA). These are areas that have, on average, about 1500 residents or 650 households and are roughly (but not totally) analogous to council wards.

Yup, sure can. But for the purposes of Fab, obviously I wouldn't. Hope this helps

because the government said so and what the government say is correct. We really shouldn’t be questioning or doubting them; we just need to do what we are told and everything else will be ok.
