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 · 2026-08
Areas with fewer than 20 qualifying sales in the 12 months fall back to their MSOA, then council.
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.

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.
Police.uk open data: the police forces of England and Wales. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
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; council/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 West Midlands'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 West Midlands's 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. Road safety: pedestrians and cyclists hurt within 500 m in police-reported collisions over five years, DfT road safety data (STATS19), Open Government Licence v3.0. Cycle lanes: km of protected track and TfL Cycleway within 1 km, TfL Cycling Infrastructure Database (surveyed 2017–19) and Cycleways, Powered by TfL Open Data (London only).
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.
Noise: modelled whole-day average (Lden) at 2,941 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.

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.
