UK public data, by local authority
StatsMapped

Housing and the labour market for every local authority in the United Kingdom, from official publishers, each with the publisher's own caveats attached.

Why the caveats matter

Every figure carries the publisher's own caveats. Where a statistic is published for a wider area than the one you clicked, or where the publisher itself flags it as unreliable, the page says so rather than quietly rounding it off.

Before you use these figures

  • England only: The Department for Education publishes this figure for state-funded schools in England only. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are not covered here.
  • Unusually low in 2006: This area's 2006 figure is unusually low compared with what other areas reported for 2006 — 6 against a typical figure (median) of about 20 across 116 other areas that period. No longer this dataset's latest period, so a look at just today's headline figure would not have caught it -- flagged here from a check across the dataset's full history. Worth checking against the source before treating it as a straightforward trend.
  • All state-funded school types combined: This figure combines state-funded primary, secondary and special schools. DfE also publishes a per-school-type breakdown, not loaded here.
  • Persistent absence, not all absence: "Persistent absentees" are pupils who missed 10% or more of their possible school sessions across the academic year. This is narrower than overall absence, which DfE also publishes separately.
