Price per square metre. Rolling 12-month median achieved price per square metre of standard market sales (Price Paid category A), using each home's EPC floor area.
HM Land Registry Price Paid + EPC · 2026-06
Areas with fewer than 20 qualifying sales in the 12 months fall back to their MSOA, then borough.
Excludes repossessions, buy-to-let and company sales (category B) and 'other' property types.
Sales without an EPC floor area, under £20,000, or outside 15–1,000 m² or £500–£40,000/m² are excluded.
Land Registry registers sales with a lag of up to a few months, so the latest window is still filling.
Outside London, sales are placed in their postcode's area (ONSPD) and linked to EPC floor areas by address; before 2023 they show one value a year. London's figures come from its address-level build.
Standard sales only (Price Paid category A) of £10,000 or more; repossessions, company and buy-to-let transfers are left out.
Sales reach the register weeks to months after completion, so the newest months are incomplete.
£ per m² uses only sales whose home has an energy certificate with a floor area.

Crime is counted where it happens, so busy shopping and night-life streets score high.
Rates are per 1,000 residents over 12 months; places with few residents and many visitors read high.
Road casualties: Department for Transport, Road Safety Data (STATS19), OGL v3.0. Many slight injuries are never reported to the police.
Recorded crime. Police-recorded offences in the 12 months to the selected month, per 1,000 residents (every police force in England). Excludes anti-social behaviour and British Transport Police.
Police.uk open data · 2026-08
Rolling 12 months: each month shows offences recorded in the year to that month.
Published crime coordinates are deliberately anonymised and never identify a building.
British Transport Police records are excluded.
Anti-social behaviour is excluded from the rate (police.uk lists it separately).
Population denominator: ONS mid-2024 LSOA estimates; borough/MSOA rates use summed counts and populations.
City of London and West End rates use resident population; daytime footfall is far higher.
police.uk places each crime at an anonymous snap point; an LSOA with fewer than 20 offences in 12 months and under a tenth of the crimes its MSOA rate predicts shows the MSOA rate instead (marked fallback).
Percentiles compare each area with the others of its region.
No figure where the police force did not publish every month of the 12 (latest window: Greater Manchester, Northumbria, Gloucestershire).

State schools within 1.5 km, nearest first, by straight-line distance. Not a catchment: being close does not guarantee a place.
Top 10%: the school is in the top tenth of North West's schools on its latest published results and rated Good or better.
Older Ofsted grades and the new report cards are not comparable; each badge says which it is.
Kids, each ranked against London areas: nurseries and pre-schools within 1 km rated well by Ofsted (Good or Outstanding, or a report card with no area below Expected standard; childminders are not included), Ofsted Early Years management information, Open Government Licence v3.0.

Local places
Shop 3 minFood hygiene worse than 67% of North WestOn map ↗
Shops, pubs, cafés, pharmacies and GP surgeries mapped in OpenStreetMap. Volunteers keep it up to date, so a new or closed place may be missing.
Food hygiene: cafés, restaurants, takeaways and pubs within 800 m with a published rating; exempt places and those awaiting inspection are left out. Food Standards Agency, Open Government Licence v3.0.
Straight-line distances from the middle of the area.
Places come from OpenStreetMap, which volunteers keep up to date; a new shop or a closed pub may be missing.
Distances are straight lines from the area's centre or the home, not walking routes.
Fare zones and lines are TfL's; stations TfL does not list show them as unknown.
Noise: modelled whole-day average (Lden) at 400 recorded homes, road or rail; no aircraft noise.
Modelled annual averages at 4 m above ground on a 10 m grid, not measurements.
Levels under 40 dB Lden are not mapped; aircraft noise is not included outside London.
Homes are the addresses in the domestic EPC register, read at their OS Open UPRN point; no single home is shown.
Homes under 40 dB Lden are not mapped; the road median covers mapped homes only.

Nature: the score combines green land, street trees per hectare and the distance to the nearest nature reserve or SSSI, each ranked among North West neighbourhoods.
Wildlife: species people recorded within 1 km (birds, mammals, amphibians). Records follow where people look, so a short list can mean few observers, not few animals.
Local Nature Reserves and Sites of Special Scientific Interest only; borough Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation are not openly licensed and are not included.
Air pollution is modelled by the GLA (London Atmospheric Emissions Inventory) for one year on a 20 m grid and averaged over the area's homes; it is not a measurement at any one address.
Summer heat is the GLA's modelled mean midnight air temperature, May to September 2011, on a 250 m grid, averaged over the area's homes: it shows which places stay warmer at night, not a forecast or an indoor temperature.
GP access counts the practices whose surgery postcode is within 1 km of a neighbourhood's centre (for an MSOA or borough, inside it): registered patients per full-time-equivalent GP, trainees and locums excluded. People can register with a practice further away; practices outside England are not counted.

Article 4 counts only directions that remove householder rights (extensions, roofs, porches, windows), and only from councils that publish them to planning.data.gov.uk.
Conservation areas outside London are as councils publish them to planning.data.gov.uk; a council that publishes none shows no conservation share (unknown).
Listed buildings are counted by list entry; one entry can be a terrace. Listing covers the whole building, inside and out.
Broadband is availability (a line can be ordered), not take-up or speed in use; full fibre is the council area's figure.
Settledness is from Census day, 21 March 2021, during the pandemic: students and some renters were away.
