Abstract

Bishop P. The spatial distribution of personal insolvencies in England and Wales, 2000--2007, Regional Studies . This paper analyses the evolving spatial distribution of personal insolvencies across England and Wales from 2000 to 2007 utilizing a range of exploratory techniques including inequality measures, spatial autocorrelation, Markov chains and mobility indices. The analysis reveals an intricate pattern of spatial clustering, fragmentation, persistence and mobility. Whilst average insolvency rates have increased, levels of spatial inequality have fallen, implying a degree of convergence. However, there is considerable mobility of areas within the distribution. A widespread and growing spatial cluster of high insolvency rate areas is located across South West England and a shrinking cluster with low rates is centred in London.
