Covers parts of 2 councils

Cardiff North is not a single council area. The share is the proportion of its residents (Census 2021 population, allocated by postcode) who live in each council area.

Council-level figures on these pages (anything the Office for National Statistics or the councils publish only for a council area) are labelled with the council they describe, and the other councils' values are listed beside them. A council figure is never the figure for the whole constituency.

Method: Mid-year population estimates

ONS mid-year estimates are modelled from the 2021 Census, births, deaths and migration. Mid-2022 is the revised series. Ages are grouped: 0-15 means ages 0 to 15 inclusive, working age 16-64, 65 and over. Change 2022-2024 compares the revised mid-2022 with mid-2024 estimates for the same boundaries. Scotland and Northern Ireland: mid-year estimates for council areas published by ONS from National Records of Scotland and NISRA (via Nomis), for 2022 to 2024, to match the England and Wales years. No small-area (ward or neighbourhood) estimates are held for them.

Method: Price paid medians

Sales are mapped from postcode to each geography exactly. The headline is the median sale price over the latest 12 COMPLETE months (a month is complete when national standard sales are at least 85% of the average of the 24 months before it; currently November 2024 to October 2025) and the 12 months before that. Months after that (Nov 2025 onward in the April 2026 extract) are still being registered and are excluded. Yearly medians use complete calendar years 2016-2024. Medians need at least 10 sales; sales counts are published for any area. Medians describe homes that sold, not all homes, and are not adjusted for the mix of property types, so a change in the median can reflect what was sold. Registration lags completion, so recent months can be revised up. Only standard price paid sales (category A) are included.

Method: Census 2021 housing, health and qualifications for Wales

Wales held its census on the same day as England (21 March 2021) with the same questions, so the figures are directly comparable. For Wales we use the published local authority tables. Tenure counts shared ownership with owners; "private rented" includes people who live rent free, as in the England figures. Overcrowding is an occupancy rating of -1 or less for bedrooms. Qualifications are for people aged 16 and over; "no qualifications" and "Level 4 or above" (degree level and above) are shares of all those people. Counts are rounded by random adjustment, so tiny differences from other tables are expected. Wales households per local authority are not split to small areas here.

By registered office address. Counts companies by their registered office address, not where they trade. Accountants and formation agents can register thousands of companies at one address, which inflates some areas.
Method: Registered companies by area

Companies are placed by the postcode of their REGISTERED OFFICE, which is not a trading or operating location: accountants, formation agents and virtual offices register thousands of companies at one address, and many small companies use a director's home. Counts are of companies with status Active (including those with a proposal to strike off), by the section of their first listed SIC 2007 code. Incorporation counts cover companies incorporated in the window that are still on the register at 2 Oct 2026, so dissolved companies are missing and older windows are understated relative to newer ones. Companies per 1,000 residents divides by the mid-2024 resident population (England and Wales only) and is not a measure of business density where registration hubs exist. SIC section Z groups dormant, non-trading and unclassified companies.

Method: Recorded street crime per 1,000 residents

Counts of crimes in police.uk street-level data for May 2025 to April 2026, matched to 2021 LSOAs by the LSOA code on each record, then split to output areas by population and rolled up (see the area apportioning method). Rates are crimes per 1,000 residents (mid-2024 population) and describe where crimes were recorded, not who committed them or where victims live. High rates occur where many non-residents pass through (town centres, transport hubs, nightlife), so they are not a measure of risk to residents. Crimes with no location (blank LSOA) are excluded; the excluded share by force is in the notes. Greater Manchester Police data are absent from the extract, so those areas have no value. Categories follow police.uk. Anti-social behaviour is incident data, not crime proper, and is included only in the "all categories" rate. 12 months only: no trend is possible and seasonal effects are included.

Method: Charities in an area

A charity is placed by the postcode of its registered/contact address (or the nearest postcode to its geocoded address; some are placed by the nearest postcode to a geocoded address), so counts show where charities are based, not where they work: a national charity with a London address is counted in London. Income is the latest annual income on the register, summed; it is dominated by a few very large charities. "Declaring the area" counts charities that name the local authority (or its county) as an area of operation on the register; it does not mean services are delivered everywhere in that area. Registered charities only; unregistered community groups, small charities below the registration threshold and removed charities are not counted.

Method
Company dissolutions and net formation. Dissolutions are companies Companies House records as dissolved, counted on the dissolution date and located by the postcode of the registered office held at dissolution. That address is often an accountant, formation agent or liquidator, not where the company traded, so it says where a company was registered, not where a business closed. Every dissolution day since 1 January 2010 was fetched one day at a time and checked: the number of companies stored equals the number the register reports for that day. The latest window is the 365 days ending the latest complete day; the prior window is the 365 days before it; annual figures are complete calendar years. The route to dissolution (strike-off, end of liquidation, merger) is not recorded, so dissolutions are not split. Net formation = companies incorporated in the period (all that were ever registered in it, whether or not they have since been dissolved) minus companies dissolved in the period. The two groups are different companies and are located by different addresses, current for companies still on the register and last held for dissolved ones. Net formation compares registered offices, not jobs, trading or business closures.
Limitations
  • Registered offices are not operating locations; many companies are registered at an agent or accountant address.
  • Registered-office events are not new local employers, closures or job changes.
  • Registered office at dissolution.

Method
School summaries for Wales and Scotland. Wales and Scotland do not publish the same measures as England, and none are comparable with England's Ofsted, Key Stage 2 or GCSE Attainment 8 figures. For Wales we hold the January pupil census: pupils aged 5 to 15 in maintained schools and the share eligible for free school meals (eligibility rules changed with universal primary meals and transitional protection, so compare years with care). For Scotland we hold school-leaver attainment (share of leavers with five or more awards at SCQF level 5 or level 6) and the share in a positive initial destination, by the council area of the school. These describe the pupils and leavers of schools in the area, not its residents. Percentages for small councils rest on small numbers of leavers.

Employment by industry (BRES). BRES is the official source of employee and employment estimates by detailed industry and area. Employment is employees plus working owners, counted at the place of work and in the survey week in September. It covers all sectors except small farm agriculture, and the self-employed who are not registered for PAYE or VAT. ONS rounds BRES employment and suppresses small cells, so industry sums may not add to the total. Jobs here are not residents: people may live elsewhere. Part-time and full-time jobs count equally (they are not full-time equivalents).

Period
2025
Geography
Council area, compared with Wales
Method
Summarising deprivation in Wales and Scotland (WIMD, SIMD). The Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation (2025) ranks every LSOA in Wales and the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (2020) ranks every data zone in Scotland, from 1 (most deprived) upwards. Each is a relative measure within its own nation, built from different domains and years, so a figure for Wales cannot be compared with one for England or Scotland, and the English Indices of Deprivation 2025 are not comparable with either. The Welsh index of 2025 uses new LSOA boundaries, so it cannot be compared area by area with the 2019 Welsh index. For a council area we report the share of its small areas (LSOAs in Wales, data zones in Scotland) that rank in the most deprived 10% and 20% of their nation. Ranks are never averaged. This counts areas, not people, and is not weighted by population; small areas are designed to hold similar numbers of residents (about 1,500 in Wales, 500 to 1,000 in Scotland). Most people in a deprived small area are not deprived, and many deprived people live in areas that are not ranked as deprived. Each LSOA is assigned to the council area that holds most of its postcodes. The Welsh index was last updated in 2025 and the Scottish index in 2020, so the Scottish figures describe the position some years ago.
Limitations
  • Share of LSOAs, not residents.
  • Cardiff North covers parts of 2 council areas (Cardiff 96%, Rhondda Cynon Taf 4%); the figure shown is for Cardiff only, not for the whole constituency.

Method
Private rents (PIPR). The ONS Price Index of Private Rents measures the change in rents paid by private tenants, and publishes an average (mean) monthly rent per local authority from the same data. The figure is a mean, not a median, so a few very high rents pull it up, especially in London and where there are few lettings. It covers rents paid for homes let on the private market (not social rents) and reflects all tenancies in the stock, not only new lets, except in Scotland where the underlying data are mainly advertised new lets, which makes Scotland not directly comparable with England and Wales. Annual change is the change in the rental price index, not in the cash average. Rents are in cash terms, not adjusted for inflation. Averages by number of bedrooms are held for the latest month only.
Limitations
  • Mean, not median.
