>> Which leaves the question, why are things so bad in Blackburn with Darwen? Living conditions,
>> density of housing?
Like parts of Bradford and Leicester Blackburn is a former textile area that drew in a large number of first generation immigrants, mainly Muslims. So like those places it will have streets of very dense population with multi-generational households. As well as the population density I suspect there may be disproportionate numbers of older people, relatively low incomes and the apparent vulnerability of BAME groups to Covid will also be factors.
