What is distinctive here

These moved unusually against comparable areas, and did not simply move with them. A change shared with everywhere else is a fact about the country, not this place.

MeasurePeriodValueChangeAgainst peers
Unemployment rate - aged 16-64 Apr 2025-Mar 2026 9.3% +2.8 in the top 1% of 169
% aged 16-64 who are self employed Apr 2025-Mar 2026 13.0% -1.7 in the bottom 1% of 171
