Standing view · health · Nottingham

Health measures in Nottingham have been improving.

improving, held with established confidence, formed on 31 August 2026 from movements in 2025.

Deaths before the age of 75 in Nottingham rose to 513.74 per 100,000 residents in 2024, then fell to 445.34 in 2025. The fall is the more recent movement and the larger of the two in absolute terms, though the rate remains high. This is the only health measure published for the city here, so nothing independent points either way, and two annual readings that move in opposite directions cannot establish a direction.

How this was decided

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 Nottingham. Where no figure supports a direction we hold no view rather than a hedged one.
