COVID-19 rates rose in two-thirds of England's small areas in the week to 6th Jan. But some falls in London/SE. On this map, each arrow is an MSOA with a population of 7-10k. Green shows a fall since last week and purple shows a rise. Larger arrows show bigger rises/falls. 1/

And here's the latest cartogram showing which small areas of England and Wales had the highest COVID-19 case rates in the week ending 6th January. Each hexagon⬢ represents an MSOA with a population of around 7k-10k. Areas are grouped into counties etc. 2/

The size of the "increasing" arrows maxes out at +500 cases per 100k population. The uniformity of the arrows in e.g. Merseyside and IoW shows that almost all MSOAs had weekly increases above +500 ☹️ In hindsight the max arrow length should have been higher than +500 this week.

Fantastic maps Carl. Thanks very much. What are you using to make them? R? QGIS + Illustrator?

The fall in Dover hasn't continued since then, but also so far not as high as it was.
