What this means

17.4% of people aged 18–64 in routine and manual occupations in Peterborough reported smoking in the pooled 2023–25 Annual Population Survey. This is a different population and period from the all-adult smoking card.

95% confidence interval: 12.3–22.5 %. Source denominator: 106,720 weighted survey respondents (Persons, 18-64 yrs); not the unweighted sample size.

Fingertips comparison: Similar England; the wide interval means the gap is uncertain.

Caveats

  • Three years pooled (2023–25) for a usable sample; not a single-year snapshot.
  • Occupation groups are self-reported and broad.
  • Lower means fewer people smoke. Shown to highlight inequality, not to stigmatise.

Missing or suppressed values are never shown as zero — every card above passed validation with a real numeric value.
