These figures will help users to identify areas most at risk from having a fire, and those where people are most likely to fall victim to a deliberate fire attack, or be injured by fire. They will also assist the targeting of urban renewal programmes and community safety initiatives

Data suppression

Time series consistency

Reliability

In order to minimise the level of damage when the data were rounded or suppressed to protect confidentiality, some categories have been excluded at Lower and Middle Super Output Area Levels. Users will be able to see these categories when the data are viewed or downloaded, but double dots ('..') are shown in the cells to denote the statistics are 'not available'. Please see the full descriptive documentation for further details. The level of completeness stands at 86% for LSOA, 88% for MSOA, 90% for LAD and 100% for GOR
