Leicester City Council provides life expectancy at birth estimates for males and females across Middle Layer Super Output Areas (MSOAs). The dataset covers the period from 2016 to 2020, which includes the first wave and part of the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Figures are calculated based on death registrations from that period.
