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.

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.

Number of dwellings on the council tax list in each valuation band A to H (I in Wales) at 31 March 2024. England bands use 1991 values and Wales 2003 values, so band shares are not comparable across the border. LSOA counts are split to output areas by population and rolled up as in the area apportioning method.

Percentages by output area are converted back to counts using the OA household total (or usual residents for health) and rolled up as in the area apportioning method, so area figures are household-weighted. England only: Welsh OAs are not in the loaded table, so Welsh and Scottish places have no value. Labelled 2021.

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.

Each feature is a yes/no flag at the postcode point, so figures are the SHARE of POSTCODES in the area with that feature, not the share of people or homes. Flood zone shares use Environment Agency flood zones 2 and 3 (river and sea, England; not surface water). Station distance is straight line from the postcode centre to the nearest NaPTAN rail station (RLY access area) or metro/tram/underground station (MET); the station distance column in the postcode feature table was found to be wrong (Cambridge about 19 km) and is not used. Full fibre is the Ofcom coverage flag for the postcode. Only areas where at least 80% of live postcodes have a feature row are published; England only.

OS Open Greenspace sites (parks, playing fields, play spaces, allotments, cemeteries, religious grounds and sports facilities) are assigned to the area of the nearest live postcode to the site's centre, so a large park is counted wholly in one area. Hectares are the site polygon area. Some sites are not open to the public (private sports facilities, cemeteries). Per 1,000 residents uses the mid-2024 population (England and Wales).

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.

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.

Points tagged in OpenStreetMap (pubs, libraries, pharmacies and so on) are assigned to the area of the nearest live postcode (within about 3 km). OSM is volunteer-mapped, so counts are indicative: differences between areas can reflect mapping effort. Per 1,000 residents uses mid-2024 population (England and Wales). Data (c) OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0.

Usual residents by five-year age band on Census Day (21 March 2021). Labelled 2021; not comparable year-on-year with mid-year estimates without care. Children are 0-14 here because the published bands are five years wide.
