deteriorating, held with established confidence, formed on 31 August 2026 from movements in 2026-06.
Business deaths in Warwick rose to 195 in the second quarter of 2025. That is the only movement published here, and no figure for formations is available to set against it, so the net change in the business base cannot be established. There were 465 businesses employing between 10 and 19 people in 2025 and 20 employing 1,000 or more. Membership organisations and other personal services each employed 1,000 people in 2024.
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 Warwick. Where no figure supports a direction we hold no view rather than a hedged one.

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.
