deteriorating, held with established confidence, formed on 5 October 2026 from movements in 2025.
Health measures in North Lincolnshire have been worsening. Deaths before age 75, per 100,000 was 406.93 in 2023 and the suicide rate, per 100,000 13.06 across 2022 to 2024, both recorded as unfavourable against the usual pattern. Adults who are obese was 34.41 in 2024/25 and ran the other way, recorded as favourable, with hospital admissions for COPD, aged 35 and over, per 100,000 at 589.43 in 2023/24. Two unfavourable movements against one favourable, with a high admissions rate alongside them, is what holds this view at established.
A view is formed only where the evidence names a figure you can check. Each movement listed as a reason had to be large enough to matter and distinctive in at least one way — unusual against this area's own history, unusual against comparable areas, or sustained over several periods. A movement shared with peers counts for less, because it says something about the country rather than about North Lincolnshire. Where no figure supports a direction we hold no view rather than a hedged one.
| Measure | Period | Direction |
|---|---|---|
| Deaths before age 75, per 100,000 | 2023 | deteriorating |
| Adults who are obese | 2024/25 | improving |
| Suicide rate, per 100,000 | 2022 - 24 | deteriorating |
These figures carry no defensible direction of their own: a rising house price is good news to an owner and bad news to someone trying to buy, so we do not score one as an improvement. They are shown because they are part of the picture, and they did not decide the view above.
