Using official data from the UK Government, I map the UK based on Local Authority Districts, to visualise which areas had the highest rate of insolvencies. This is measured at a rate of per 10,000 of population.
The highest rate was in Torbay, with 619 insolvencies and a rate of 58.2 per 10,000 of population (0.88%). The lowest was in Wandsworth, with 302 insolvencies and a rate of 12.2 (0.12%).
The interactive map below, created in Tableau, allows you to explore the data and compare different areas.
I’m from Brighton originally, a city on the south coast of England. Brighton had 597 insolvencies, a rate of 27.2 (0.27%), so was somewhere in the middle of the pack.
