British 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 a county, or where the publisher itself flags it as unreliable, the page says so rather than quietly rounding it off.

639,133, latest 2025.

Before you use these figures

  • Unusually high compared with other areas: This figure is unusually high compared with other areas currently publishing this dataset — 639,133 against a typical figure (median) of about 148,095 across 349 other areas. Worth checking against the source before treating it as a straightforward comparison.
  • Unusually high in 2005: This area's 2005 figure is unusually high compared with what other areas reported for 2005 — 584,001 against a typical figure (median) of about 131,022 across 360 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.
  • Mid-year estimate, not a census count: This is a modelled mid-year (30 June) estimate, not a direct headcount. It is rebased periodically against the latest UK census results -- the current series was rebased to the 2021/2022 censuses, replacing previously published estimates for 2011 to 2022. Figures for the same year can therefore change between publications as later data becomes available.
  • Unrounded, but not precise to the individual: Figures are published unrounded to enable further calculation, but ONS is explicit that small estimates should not be read as accurate to a specific person -- they are produced using statistical models and disclosure-control methods, not a direct count.
