Chelmsford since 2015
Every series published for Chelmsford that reaches back to 2015, compared with its latest published period. Both ends are the publisher’s own figures and the difference is those two numbers subtracted. No year is interpolated, and where a series starts later than the year you picked it says so instead of being extended backwards.
