You asked

I would like to request any collected data on the number of deaths of homeless people in the Brighton and Hove area, from 1 January 2011 to 30 December 2016 or to the latest date data is available.

I would also like for the criteria used for classifying someone as “homeless” to be specified.

Thank you for your recent request.

The death registration data held by us for England and Wales does not identify whether the deceased was homeless or had no fixed address.

Other special extracts and tabulations of deaths data for England and Wales are available (subject to legal frameworks, disclosure control, resources and agreement of costs, where appropriate). You can contact the team directly at: vsob@ons.gov.uk
