Civometry calculation · 4 indicators · latest available twelve-month changes
Is your area getting better or worse?
Five things that are measured for every local authority, each compared with a year earlier: recorded crime, private rents, house prices, median full-time pay and Band D council tax. An area scores +1 for each measure that moved the better way and −1 for each that moved the worse way, so the score runs from −5 to +5. Every figure is the published one; the only judgement is which way is better, and that is stated below. A Civometry calculation, not an official statistic.
Every area is coloured by its score: each step is one more indicator moving the better (green) or the worse (red) way, and a score of 0 means as many moved better as worse. Areas with no usable comparison are hatched, never coloured. Click an area for its indicators, or search above for the full answer.

Ranked by measures better minus measures worse, highest first; ties in alphabetical order. Areas without a value are not ranked.
Choose the indicators
- All five measures
Five measures, each counted once: an unchanged measure counts for neither side; a measure with no change published for the area is left out and the drawer says so.
- Cost of living only (rents, house prices, pay, council tax)
The four money measures without recorded crime.
- Without house prices (crime, rents, pay, council tax)
For readers who count rising house prices as good for owners rather than bad for buyers; the other four measures as above.
What “better” means here
- Private rents: better when it falls.
- House prices: better when it falls.
- Median full-time pay: better when it rises.
- Band D council tax: better when it falls.
Lower house prices are treated as better in the default calculation because they improve affordability for buyers. Existing owners may reasonably prefer rising prices, so a set that leaves house prices out is offered above.
How the score is worked out
Score = indicators better − indicators worse
- Better
- 1
- Worse
- 3
- Unchanged
- 0
- No comparison
- 0
- Score for Oldham
- −2
- Every indicator counts once. There are no weights and no thresholds.
- Nothing is modelled or interpolated: each change is the newest published value against the value twelve months earlier, both as published.
- An indicator that did not move counts for neither side.
- An indicator with no published comparison for an area is left out and named. It is never counted as no change.
- Which direction is better is a judgement, stated openly above, not something the data decides.
- The score is a count, not an index: +4 is not “twice as good” as +2, it is two more indicators moving the better way.
This is a Civometry calculation on official figures, not an official statistic. It cannot say why anything moved. The score measures the balance of these selected indicators only. It does not mean an area as a whole became objectively better or worse. Method in full.
Sources and periods
Official datasets are released on their own timetables, so the twelve months are not the same twelve months for every indicator. Each row says which comparison was used.
| Indicator | Comparison period | Release | Publisher |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private rents | July 2025 to July 2026 | August 2026 (rents to July 2026), released 2026-08-19 | ONS |
| House prices | June 2025 to June 2026 | UK House Price Index: June 2026, released 2026-08-20 | HM Land Registry |
| Median full-time pay | 2024 to 2025 | 2025 provisional, released 2025-10-23 | ONS |
| Band D council tax | Year ending March 2026 to Year ending March 2027 | 2026 to 2027, released 2026-03-25 | MHCLG |
Where one indicator’s latest comparison is older than another’s, that is the latest the publisher has released, not a fault in the area.
