We examine regional inequalities in mortality from the 1918 pandemic in England and Wales. Crude mortality rates (per 100,000 for June 1918 to May 1919) from the Registrar General’s 1920 report were directly allocated to crude mortality rates for 306 administrative units. A custom GIS ShapeFile was constructed to map the rates first as a choropleth and then as a cartogram. The visualisations show a clear north-south divide in mortality in England with the northern areas and – to a lesser extent – the midlands and Wales having higher rates than the south. It also demonstrates an urban-rural divide with more sparsely populated areas – across both England and Wales – having lower rates.

我们研究了1918年英格兰和威尔士大流行造成的区域死亡率不平等现象。总登记局1920年报告中的粗死亡率（从1918年6月到1919年5月，每10万个）直接分配给306个行政单位的粗死亡率。构建了自定义的GIS ShapeFile，以首先将速率映射为拟峰率，然后映射为制图。可视化结果显示，英格兰的死亡率在南北之间存在明显的南北分歧，北部地区（中度偏低）和威尔士州的死亡率高于南部。它还显示出城乡差距，英格兰和威尔士两地人口稀少，比率较低。
