Default Top Ten Most Accident Prone Cities

"..Cities ... likely to make a claim for
accidental damage in the home compared
to the national average.

The report, by insurance provider Endsleigh,
compared the frequency of claims in different
UK towns and cities to its national average.

The report shows the risk of an actual incident
occurring rather than just the total number of
incidents that have occurred.

Common incidents include spilt drinks and
putting a foot through the floor in the loft. "

1 Northampton +39.2%
2 Plymouth +34.3%
3 Hove +28.9%
4 Bath +24.5%
5 Milton Keynes +21.1%
6 Brighton +20.4%
7 Swansea +18.5%
8 Aberdeen +17.8%
9 Derby +17.5%
10 Hull +13.0%

The message
from "Suz" contains these words:

occurring rather than just the total number of
incidents that have occurred.


You sure it doesn't show the risk to an insurer of a claim being made?
Not the same thing at all!
