Middlesbrough at 48.3% and Hartlepool at 49.7% give fairly similar chances across these 2 centres that handled 14,677 tests between 2024 and 2025. The industrial heritage of both towns means navigating around former steelworks areas and busy port traffic, particularly challenging around Middlesbrough's A66 junction. Women actually outperformed men at Hartlepool with 50.4% versus 49.2%, while automatic rates stayed close at 48.6% and 46.6% respectively.
