AN INTERACTIVE map has revealed the weekly coronavirus rates in all areas of Brighton and Hove.
The highest rates in the seven days leading up to November 4 were recorded on the outskirts of the city, while more central areas had fewer confirmed cases.
The map uses data from Public Health England, and breaks the city down into Middle Super Output Areas (MSOAs).
These are areas with an average population of 7,200.
The highest weekly coronavirus rate was reported in Coldean and Moulsecoomb North, a region on the map which contains the University of Sussex's Falmer campus.
Here, there were 43 cases reported in the seven days leading up to November 4, giving it a weekly coronavirus rate of 367.3 cases per 100,000 population.
In data released last month (for the week leading up to Ocxtober 21) this MSOA had more than five times more recorded cases than the area with the next highest figure in Brighton and Hove - with 94 weekly cases compared to Round Hill's 18.
In the most recent figures, the area of the city with the second highest weekly coronavirus rate was Patcham East, which recorded 21 cases in seven days.
This gave it a seven-day rolling rate of 267.4 cases per 100,000 population.
But, while these two areas on the outskirts of Brighton and Hove recorded the highest figures, some of the city centre sites reported some of the lowest.
King Alfred had the least confirmed cases in the week leading up to November 4, with just three positive tests giving it a rate of 37 cases per 100,000 population.
North Laine and the Lanes, St James's Street and Queen's Park, Hanover, and Kemp Town also all had rates of less than 100 cases per 100,000 population.
Overall in Brighton and Hove there were 372 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the seven day leading up to November 4, giving the city a weekly rate of 127.9 cases per 100,000 population.
