1stDerbyshire Dales45.0 per 1,000
2ndSouth Derbyshire52.7 per 1,000
3rdNorth East Derbyshire54.9 per 1,000

Rates are per 1,000 residents, so city centres with many visitors and workers look higher than the risk to someone living there. Not ranked: parts of Kent whose official figures are wrong this year (a police recording problem), City of London (too few residents), and areas that share one figure across a combined partnership.
