Comparing a base year with most recent year

This page provides some at-a-glance comparisons between 2024 - the most recent whole year - and a selected base year, which is 2014; a five-year comparison is being used.

The tables show different characteristics of casualties, such as age and location, as a proportion of all casualties for that year. They then compare the proportions between the two years to see if the characteristic has changed in significance. The percentage point change is shown.

Each change is simply ranked with a symbol:

“No or a small change” in proportion is shown as and it is a percentage point change of less than +/- 3%.

A “moderate increase” in proportion is shown as , a “moderate decrease” as and they are percentage point changes of 3% to 9% up and down respectively.

A “bigger increase” in proportion is shown as , a “bigger decrease” as and they are percentage point changes more than 9% up and down respectively.
