Fast-food outlet density
Please note: Counts are premises registered with councils as takeaways or sandwich shops, per 100,000 people who live in the area. Town-centre wards with few residents can have very high figures because takeaways serve shoppers and workers too. Premises run from homes are counted for their district but cannot be placed in a ward.
