ClearDebt have put together an interactive  animation showing the evolution of personal insolvencies by English district.
The data is taken from the Insolvency Service of England & Wales, and presented in an interactive chart courtesy of Google Docs
By selecting your own district you can see how insolvencies have generally grown between 2000 and 2009. It looks like it was a bad period for Brummies.
We publish debt facts and figures from our database from time to time.
