Health measures in North Lincolnshire have been worsening.

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

Deaths before the age of 75 in North Lincolnshire rose to 406.93 per 100,000 residents in 2023, and the suicide rate to 13.06 per 100,000 over the three years to 2024. Two health measures moved unfavourably, which is a consistent direction as far as it goes, though each has a single reading published here. The suicide rate is pooled over three years because annual counts at this level are too small to publish on their own.

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