Method and comparability
The table uses the latest rate stored for each authority from official national datasets. Reporting periods and definitions can differ between England, Scotland and Wales, so cross-nation comparisons should be treated as directional rather than perfectly like-for-like. Northern Ireland rows appear when a comparable figure is available.
