What this means

Kirklees recorded 393.7 new STI diagnoses per 100,000 residents in 2025 — 1,763 diagnoses. The measure excludes chlamydia diagnoses in people aged 24 and under.

Huddersfield is a town, not a statistical area: these figures are for Kirklees local authority as a whole (which includes Huddersfield, Dewsbury, Batley and surrounding towns). Treat them as the wider-area picture, not street-level results.

Source denominator: 447,847 residents. This is a crude diagnosis rate, not age-standardised; diagnoses are not unique people.

England: 441.2 per 100,000. Diagnosis rates also reflect access to testing and testing activity, so this is not a simple league table of infection prevalence.

Caveats

  • Excludes chlamydia diagnoses in people aged 24 and under; it is not a count of every new STI diagnosis.
  • Higher diagnosis can reflect more infection, more testing, better access to services, or a combination of these.
  • People can receive more than one diagnosis, so the count is diagnoses rather than unique people.
  • 95% confidence interval: 375.5 to 412.5 per 100,000.
  • Derived from the published point estimates for 153 upper-tier authorities with data. Exact ties share a rank. Overlapping confidence intervals mean nearby ranks may not be meaningfully different.
  • A lower diagnosis rate is not automatically better because access to testing and testing activity affect the measure.
