The LGA collates and publishes data for more than 16,000 types of metric describing local authorities, wards and many other geographies. We put in the work so individual councils don’t have to. You can access the data directly via our data tool or in themed reports written by the LGA.
See your area in new ways by easily viewing metrics displayed in maps, charts or tables. Instantly accessible and regularly updated, our tools offer a quick glance at the data for your local area.
The data tool gives you direct access to the data for any combination of metric types, areas and time periods. You can output raw values, perform statistical operations and summarise values. The results can be viewed online or downloaded in various ways for use in other tools.
Here are some sample data queries (you'll need to be signed in to view the results of the query):
These sample reports are available to everyone for any chosen area. If you sign in from a subscribed organisation you’ll see a lot more reports and you can write your own.
The Metric updates calendar shows which of the thousands of datasets we host were published most recently and what's coming up next.
