Rugby

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
% of economically inactive student Apr 2025-Mar 2026 17.1% -12 in the bottom 3% of 555
Median 2025 22.3 +3.0 in the top 3% of 632
75 percentile 2025 31.2 +5.3 in the top 7% of 564

Moving with the rest of the country

Shown separately because these say something about the country rather than about Rugby.

By subject

Every figure published for Rugby. Open a subject to see them, each with its history and its source. Where a producer splits the area into many categories, those sit behind a further disclosure.
