Good questions. All I know is that the info is postcode based. Finsbury Park is what they've chosen to call N4. Either way 87,000 sounds like a lot. That's about, what, 1,500 a week.

Those numbers can't be right. But surely the %s can't be of the 1.1 million - there are 20 places named and each accounts for 7% or more of whatever they are supposed to account for. That adds up to more than 100%.
Maybe the % is to do with the proportion of people who claim in those areas??

1.13 million quotes, not claims. No indication of where they got the figures for claims from unless perhaps from the answers to the question " Have you made a claim for....in the past year ? " Statistics, eh ?
