This week's small-area COVID-19 cartograms: which areas had the highest case rates (left)? And where were the biggest rises and falls (right)?

Each hexagon⬢ represents an MSOA with a population of around 7k-10k. Areas are grouped into counties etc. Data for week ending 18/11.
You can view or download a high-res version of the 'change arrows' MSOA cartogram here - it also has local authority labels for easy navigation. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Rm9BgAIc452nkRrUAt01cji61OlneJtk/view?usp=sharing
There are a lot more green "falling arrows" than there were last week! https://twitter.com/carlbaker/status/1328371958057144321
Lots of examples now of substantial variation *within* counties and conurbations, and not just *between* them. Check out Lancashire, Kent, Essex and Lincs, all of which span entire the spectrum from low covid rates to high covid rates.
