improving, held with established confidence, formed on 31 August 2026 from movements in 2025.
Deaths before the age of 75 in Ealing fell to 273.05 per 100,000 residents in 2024. Adult smoking fell to 7.42% in the same year, and the suicide rate to 8.44 per 100,000 over the three years to 2024. Three health measures from one producer moved favourably, which is more consistent than most boroughs produce. Each is an annual figure with one reading published here, so none shows a run, and the suicide rate is pooled over three years because annual counts are too small to publish.
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 Ealing. Where no figure supports a direction we hold no view rather than a hedged one.
