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.

Claimant count -- South Kesteven

2,420, latest July 2026.

2,420 was the total. The largest year-on-year movement was Claimant count -- South Kesteven, 1% higher (2,420).

Before you use these figures

  • Not a measure of unemployment: The claimant count is a count of people claiming Universal Credit (who are required to seek work) or Jobseeker's Allowance, not a count of unemployed people. It includes some people in part-time work and excludes people who are unemployed but not claiming. ONS's Labour Force Survey is the measure of unemployment, and is a different figure.
  • Four nations, one series: Universal Credit and Jobseeker's Allowance operate UK-wide, so this series is directly comparable across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland -- unlike some UK statistics that are only published for some nations.
