Number of individual insolvencies per 10,000 adults aged 18-24 (18332) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the total number individual insolvencies for people aged between 18 to 24 in an area expressed per 10,000 adult population. This is a sum of bankruptcies, debt relief orders (DRO) and individual voluntary arrangements (IVAs).
Individual insolvency data are sourced from the Insolvency Service case information system (ISCIS). Bankruptcy and DRO data are tabulated by insolvency type and calendar year of order or agreement. IVAs are counted within these statistics once they are registered with the Insolvency Service, and they are reported by year of registration date. There is often a time lag between the date on which the IVA is accepted (known as the date of creditor agreement) and date of registration by licensed insolvency practitioners working for firms that specialise in this area. For some IVAs, the year in which they were registered may differ from the date of creditor agreement.
New monetary eligibility limits for Debt Relief Orders in England and Wales came into effect on 29 June 2021. This included the level of debt at which people can apply for a DRO being increased from £20,000 to £30,000. More people are now able to access this form of debt solution as a result of these changes.
Postcode data are matched against the National Statistics Postcode Lookup, to determine the region and administrative area of each individual. These data are then aggregated to produce counts of insolvencies in each geographical area. The National Statistics Postcode Lookup is derived from data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and Ordnance Survey.
Population data for each geographic breakdown is taken from the ONS mid-year population estimates release. Geographical data for joining the insolvency and population statistics together are sourced from the Open Geography Portal. Additionally, population estimates are revised from time to time by the ONS which will lead to to revisions to rates per 10,000 adults.
