Birth and Death Rates, Ward

<p>Live births by usual residence of mother, and General Fertility Rates (GFR), and Deaths and Standardised Mortality Ratio (SMR) by ward and local authority.
</p>
<p>The births and deaths data comes from ONS Vital Statistics Table 4.<br />
Small area data is only available directly from ONS under licence.
</p>
<p>The general fertility rate (GFR) is the number of live births per 1,000 women aged 15-44.
</p>
<p>SMR measures whether the population of an area has a higher or lower number of deaths than expected based on the age profile of the population (more deaths are expected in older populations). The SMR is defined as follows: SMR = (Observed no. of deaths per year)/(Expected no. of deaths per year).
</p>
<p>Rates are provisional, they are based on the GLA 2011 based SHLAA ward projections (standard) released in January 2012. At national level, however, they are based on the mid-year population estimates.
</p>
