Places come from OpenStreetMap, which volunteers keep up to date; a new shop or a closed pub may be missing.

Flood: shares of the area's land by Environment Agency band, not of its buildings. Highest: the highest band covering at least 1% of the land.

Read from the Environment Agency's map service at 1 m per pixel, the same grid as the London figures.

Homes are the addresses in the domestic EPC register, read at their OS Open UPRN point; no single home is shown.

Places outside every mapped band count as very low. Groundwater and sewer flooding 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 council, 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.

Shares are of the area's land; the council's own maps and planning team are the authority on what needs permission.

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.
