Allerdale Local Authority: Sexual and reproductive health indicators

Each of the sexual and reproductive health indicators has been ranked by local authority. These charts show Allerdale's rank for each indicator.

For the first chart, a low rank (lowest = 1) represents a better than average score, and a high rank (highest = 43) represents a worse than average score. For the second chart, a low rank (lowest = 1) represents a lower than average score, and a high rank (highest = 43) represents a higher than average score.

* For these indicators, a higher score is better than a lower score (the converse is true for all other indicators). For this reason, these indicators have been ranked in reverse order; a higher rank (highest = 43) means a lower rate or percentage. Z scores for these indicators have also been reversed; a negative Z score represents a higher than average rate or percentage
# Local authority measures have been calculated from PCT data. Some neighbouring local authorities will appear to have the same value. Full details are available in Chapter 6 of the full report.
