Deaths of homeless people were nine times higher in
deprived areas of England than in the least disadvantaged areas, analysis of
data has shown. There were an estimated 21 deaths in Manchester, 18 in Birmingham,
17 each in Bristol, Lambeth and Liverpool and 15 in Camden in 2017. About 2,627
homeless people died in England and Wales from 2013 to 2017. Deaths were
recorded in 156 local authority areas in 2017, the Office for National
Statistics (ONS) said. When weighted by population, the 11 deaths estimated in
Blackburn with Darwen gave the area the highest rate. Housing charity Shelter
said the figures were a "wake-up call". Read more on the BBC website.
