Shipley

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 retired Apr 2025-Mar 2026 42.1% +12 in the top 7% of 469
Employment rate - aged 16-64 Apr 2025-Mar 2026 82.5% +4.0 in the top 6% of 632
% who are economically inactive - aged 16-64 Apr 2025-Mar 2026 14.5% -3.7 in the bottom 9% of 632

Moving with the rest of the country

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