UK public data, by local authority district
StatsMapped

Housing, jobs, schools, roads and population for every local authority district in the United Kingdom — six datasets from five 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.

The UK's four nations publish separately, so some figures stop at a border: house sale prices cover England and Wales, road collisions Great Britain, and pupil absence England only. An area with fewer datasets isn't missing data — its nation publishes that statistic through a different body.

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.
  • 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.
  • Open Government Licence: Source: Department for Education, Explore Education Statistics. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
