Yeah, thats true. I know they made assessments by postcode, so that data is probably in the report somewhere, the full report is open and available at that link.

Also considering Midland is SOR, which i definitely don't always consider, maybe the vast majority of the population would be SOR, so comparing uneven population sizes might be leading to a quirk.
