improving, held with strong confidence, formed on 5 October 2026 from movements in 2025.
Deaths before age 75 in Bolsover numbered 360.76 per 100,000 in 2025, a favourable movement. The suicide rate was 9.11 per 100,000 over the pooled period 2022 to 2024, also favourable, and adults who smoke accounted for 8.32% in 2024, likewise favourable. Adults who are physically active made up 66.89% in 2023/24. All three measures with a recorded direction moved favourably in their latest period.
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 Bolsover. Where no figure supports a direction we hold no view rather than a hedged one.
| Measure | Period | Direction |
|---|---|---|
| Adults who smoke | 2024 | improving |
| Suicide rate, per 100,000 | 2022 - 24 | improving |
| Deaths before age 75, per 100,000 | 2025 | improving |
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.
