Infant Mortality Rate
in 2011 for District/Unitary Authority
Deaths per thousand live births. This is a good overall measure of the health of a population, although by the late twentieth century rates had become so low that just one death more or less could have a big impact on a district's relative performance.
R_INF_MORT = (INF_DEATHS:im * 1000.0) / BIRTH_TOT:total
