Northern Cities And COVID-19

If you look at the official Government statistics for the total number of cases of COVID-19, as of May 3rd, the number of cases in the two major cities in the North West as follows.

• Leeds – 1463 out of a city population of 789,194 (0.18%) and a metro population of 2,638,127 (0.05%)
• Liverpool – 1454 out of a city population of 494,814 (0.29%) and a metro population of 2,241,000 (0.06%)
• Manchester – 1154 out of a city population of 547,627 (0.21%) and a metro population of 3,748,274 (0.03%)
• Newcastle – 939 out of a city population of 300,196 (0.31%) and a metro population of 1,650,000 (0.06%)
• Nottingham – 537 out of a city population of 321,500 (0.17%) and a metro population of 1,610,000 (0.03%)
• Sheffield – 2191 out of a city population of 582,506 (0.38%) and a metro population of 1,569,000 (0.14%)

Note.

1. All populations come from Wikipedia.
2. Why is Liverpool 40% worse than Manchester?
3. Why is Sheffield the worst?

I will add a few smaller towns andcities.

• Blackpool – 465 out of an urban population of 139,720 (0.33%)
• Caldervale – 252 out of an urban population of 200,100 (0.13%)
• Hull – 469 out of a city population of 260,645 (0.18%)
• Middlesbrough – 566 out of an urban population of 174,700 (0.32%)
• Stoke-on-Trent – 509 out of a city population of 255,833 (0.20%)
• York – 315 out of a city population of 209,893 (0.15%)

I’d like to see full statistics plotted on a map or a scatter diagram.

The latter is a very powerful way to plot data and often they highlight data points that lie outside the underlying pattern of the data.
