About
Official statistics for every part of the UK, brought together in one place and traced back to the body that published them.
National statistics describe every part of the country in detail. Almost none of it is easy to find, and less of it is easy to read: it is spread across a dozen producers, four nations' statistical agencies, and file formats that change between editions. This site collects it, keeps it as published, and shows the source under every figure.
It is free, and every page is public. There is no sign-in in front of a figure or a citation.
Geographies: country, region, county and unitary authority, local authority, Westminster constituency, and the ITL1–3 statistical regions. Sources & freshness lists every dataset, its producer, how often it is published, and how current our copy is.
Nothing. That is the whole method, and these are the four things that follow from it.
The honest list, because knowing what is absent is worth more than a longer list of what is present. Each of these was checked against the producer rather than assumed.
| Gap | Why |
|---|---|
| Scotland's census at council area | National Records of Scotland publishes Census 2022 at output area and above, with no council-area file. Six routes were checked, including the bulk downloads, the metadata API and the statistics portal. Summing output areas would disagree with NRS's own published total by 0.07%, because the tables are perturbed. |
| Health indicators outside England | OHID Fingertips is England-only — 296 areas, not 361. |
| Earnings in Northern Ireland | The ASHE route on Nomis is Great Britain: its local-authority codelist holds 350 areas, not 361. |
| Housing affordability in Scotland and Northern Ireland | ONS publishes the house-price-to-earnings ratio for England and Wales only. |
| Anything below local authority | Deprivation ranks and some census tables are held at small-area level and served at their own grain, but LSOA, ward and output area are not browsable geographies here yet. |
| Combined and mayoral authorities | Not yet a geography on this site. In progress. |
| Recorded crime | Not yet collected. Road collisions and casualties are. |
Each area page also names the gaps for that specific place, and says whether a figure is one nobody publishes, one we have not collected, or one that nation measures a different way — which is not a gap at all.
Every area, every subject, every chart and every measure downloads as CSV, with no sign-in and no limit. A row carries the value as published, its unit, the period it covers and when that period started, the publication date, the publisher, the licence, and the producer's reason wherever a value is missing. Withheld rows are included rather than dropped, so a sheet of 296 councils is 296 rows.
Most of it is under the Open Government Licence v3.0, but an area file mixes a dozen datasets and they do not all share one — so the licence is a column on every row rather than a line in the header. Credit the publisher named in the row, not this site.
Cite the producer, not us. A figure here belongs to the body that published it, and every page names that body, the series, the period and the publication date so the citation can be written without leaving the page.
Where a link is useful — in a footnote, a dataset appendix or a business case — the page URLs are permanent. An identifier is assigned once and never reissued, nothing is hard-deleted, and a superseded page keeps resolving and keeps showing what it showed at the time. That is a deliberate commitment rather than a side effect: a dead link in a document somebody keeps is a broken promise about the one thing this site is for.
The most recent figure whose producer states its own release date was published on 24 September 2026; several sources publish no release date at all, and for those it is inferred from the period end and the producer's usual lag, which the page says wherever it is shown. The warehouse is refreshed by hand rather than on a schedule, so Sources & freshness shows the last period and publication date for every dataset and how far past its usual gap each one is. A refresh that did not happen is visible there to a reader, not only to us.
The Datum Report is built by Future Consulting B.V.
Corrections, questions, and a source you need that is not here: jack@datum.report. A correction to a figure is the most useful thing anyone can send — this site's whole claim is that the numbers are the producers' own, so a row that does not match theirs is the one defect worth hearing about before anything else.
