The council tax on a Band D home in this council area

Source period

2026-27

Representative-location estimate at SY16 1ER, the active postcode nearest the centre point of the official settlement boundary. This is not a town-wide total and may vary elsewhere in the town.

Band D is the benchmark councils are compared on, not the typical home: across most of England more dwellings sit in bands A to C than in D or above. The headline annual charge for this council area, adding together every body that precepts on the bill — the council, any county or combined authority, the police and fire authorities and the adult social care precept. In England and Wales it averages parish and community precepts across the authority, so a specific parish can be higher or lower. It is not what a household pays: single-person discounts, student and other exemptions, the disabled band reduction, second-home and empty-home premiums and Council Tax Reduction are in none of these tables and move a real bill further than the gap between two neighbouring councils. Bands themselves reflect 1991 values in England and Scotland and 2003 values in Wales.

Counts sales lodged with HM Land Registry for registration in the last five years, excluding repossessions and other Category B transfers. It is not every change of ownership: gifts, right-to-buy sales at a discount, transfers under court order and leases of seven years or less never appear. Registration lags completion by two weeks to two months, so the most recent months are always incomplete and this figure rises later.

Source period

July 2026

Exact town aggregate based on 562 Category A HM Land Registry transactions across every postcode assigned to the official settlement. It is not a valuation; the time window is stated in the field label.

A median of the standard residential sales registered in this postcode over five years, and nothing else. It is not a valuation, and it is not adjusted for the size, condition or type of the homes that happened to sell. Repossessions and other Category B transfers are excluded. Results based on fewer than ten sales are shown with a low-sample warning because one unusual property can move the median by tens of thousands.

The band the most homes here sit in

Source period

2026-27

Representative-location estimate at SY16 1ER, the active postcode nearest the centre point of the official settlement boundary. This is not a town-wide total and may vary elsewhere in the town.

The single largest band among the homes in this neighbourhood, which says nothing about any particular home and can sit one band either side of the next largest. Scotland publishes its band mix by council rather than by neighbourhood, so this card is blank for a Scottish postcode rather than quietly widening to the council. This describes the mix of council tax bands across the whole neighbourhood, not this address: there is no public data feed of individual bands anywhere in Great Britain, and we do not hold one. To find the band of a particular property use the official checker at gov.uk/council-tax-bands, or the Scottish Assessors at saa.gov.uk. A band is fixed against what the property was worth on 1 April 1991 in England and Scotland, or 1 April 2003 in Wales, and has never been revalued in England or Scotland — it is not a current valuation and a low band is not a cheap house. Counts are rounded to the nearest 10 by the publisher and bands with fewer than five dwellings are withheld.

Source period

2026-27

Representative-location estimate at SY16 1ER, the active postcode nearest the centre point of the official settlement boundary. This is not a town-wide total and may vary elsewhere in the town.

Bands A to C are the three lowest, which in England and Scotland means a 1991 value up to £68,000 and in Wales a 2003 value up to £91,000. Bands holding fewer than five homes are withheld by the publisher and are missing from both the top and the bottom of this share. Scotland publishes its band mix by council rather than by neighbourhood, so this card is blank for a Scottish postcode. This describes the mix of council tax bands across the whole neighbourhood, not this address: there is no public data feed of individual bands anywhere in Great Britain, and we do not hold one. To find the band of a particular property use the official checker at gov.uk/council-tax-bands, or the Scottish Assessors at saa.gov.uk.

Representative-location estimate at SY16 1ER, the active postcode nearest the centre point of the official settlement boundary. This is not a town-wide total and may vary elsewhere in the town.

Band A is the lowest band a dwelling can be in. Wales also publishes an "A-" figure for the disabled band reduction, which is a reduction a household qualifies for rather than a band, and is excluded here so the three nations stay comparable. The headline annual charge for this council area, adding together every body that precepts on the bill — the council, any county or combined authority, the police and fire authorities and the adult social care precept. In England and Wales it averages parish and community precepts across the authority, so a specific parish can be higher or lower. It is not what a household pays: single-person discounts, student and other exemptions, the disabled band reduction, second-home and empty-home premiums and Council Tax Reduction are in none of these tables and move a real bill further than the gap between two neighbouring councils.

Source period

2026-27

Representative-location estimate at SY16 1ER, the active postcode nearest the centre point of the official settlement boundary. This is not a town-wide total and may vary elsewhere in the town.

The top band is H in England and Scotland and I in Wales, so the Welsh figure covers a band the other two nations do not have. Scotland's band ratios were changed in 2017 to raise the top four bands relative to Band D, so a Scottish top-band charge is a larger multiple of its Band D than an English one. The headline annual charge for this council area, adding together every body that precepts on the bill — the council, any county or combined authority, the police and fire authorities and the adult social care precept. In England and Wales it averages parish and community precepts across the authority, so a specific parish can be higher or lower. It is not what a household pays: single-person discounts, student and other exemptions, the disabled band reduction, second-home and empty-home premiums and Council Tax Reduction are in none of these tables and move a real bill further than the gap between two neighbouring councils.

A SAP model output for a standard household, not a meter reading. The same house scores the same whether two people live there or six, and it is per square metre — a large efficient house can use far more energy in total than a small inefficient one.

Exact aggregate of 4450 latest domestic EPC certificates across every postcode assigned to the official settlement. EPCs are lodged on sale, letting or construction and are not a census of all homes.

A SAP model output for a standard household. It uses the carbon intensity assumed when each certificate was lodged, and the grid has decarbonised substantially over the period covered, so older certificates overstate the emissions of electric heating.

Counted over the postcode's own LSOA, against Census 2021 usual residents for the same LSOA. The denominator counts people who LIVE there, not people who are there: in a city centre much recorded crime involves workers, shoppers and visitors, so the rate per resident is higher than the risk to a resident. Median across England and Wales is about 67 per 1,000.

The number of people usually resident in this neighbourhood. Census day was 21 March 2021, during coronavirus restrictions: students were largely counted at a parental address rather than a term-time one, and workplace populations were displaced. The census is taken once a decade, so this is now several years old. It describes the LSOA around this postcode — a neighbourhood of roughly 1,500 people — and not this address. Small counts are deliberately adjusted to protect confidentiality, so categories need not sum exactly to their totals and a difference of a person or two is noise.

It is not a figure for this postcode, this street or this neighbourhood, and areas within a single seat can differ from each other far more than seats differ from one another. Constituency boundaries were re-drawn for that election, so these figures cannot be compared with results published for an earlier one.

Constituency boundaries were re-drawn for the general election of 4 July 2024. This is the seat as it is now, which for many postcodes is not the seat they were in before that election — so results, majorities and turnout published for an earlier election under an older name do not describe this area.

Correct as at the date shown beside it, and not necessarily today. Members change between general elections through by-elections, defections and resignations, and a seat can be vacant for months while a by-election is arranged — in which case this reads "Seat currently vacant" rather than naming whoever held it last. A constituency covers roughly 70,000 electors, so this is a fact about a large area and not about your street.

3 of 10, where 1 is most deprived

Source period

2025

Representative-location estimate at SY16 1ER, the active postcode nearest the centre point of the official settlement boundary. This is not a town-wide total and may vary elsewhere in the town.

Decile 1 is the most deprived tenth of the 1,917 small areas in Wales and decile 10 the least; rank 1 of 1,917 is the most deprived. This describes the whole LSOA — about 1,600 residents — and not this postcode or any household in it. The Welsh index cannot be compared with the English (IMD) or Scottish (SIMD) indices: Wales uses eight domains where England uses seven and Scotland seven different ones, and ranks against far fewer areas, so the same rank number means something quite different. WIMD 2025 is also not directly comparable with WIMD 2019.

Equivalised means adjusted for household size and composition on the modified-OECD scale, so a couple and a family of five can be compared. Do not read it as the cash a household receives. A modelled estimate for the financial year ending March 2023, not a measurement: ONS combine the Family Resources Survey with census and administrative data, and the method tends to pull estimates towards the average. Every figure carries a wide confidence interval — the true value could plausibly sit anywhere in it, so a difference between neighbouring areas may not be real. It is a mean, and income is skewed, so it sits above the typical household. The area is an MSOA of 2,000 to 6,000 households, several neighbourhoods rather than one street.

This is an administrative count, not a survey: it counts children in families that appear in DWP and HMRC benefit and tax-credit records, calibrated to the national Households Below Average Income total. Families entitled to support who do not claim are not in it, so treat the figure as a floor rather than a measurement.

7 / 7

Category counts are summed from wholly contained source areas; published disclosure-control adjustments are retained.

NS-SEC is an occupational classification, not a score, rank or measure of an individual's worth. Full-time students and people who have never worked are explicit categories. Census day was 21 March 2021, during coronavirus restrictions. This describes the LSOA around the postcode, not a household or address. ONS applies statistical disclosure control, so small category counts are perturbed and components may differ slightly from the published total. England and Wales only; Scotland's Census was held separately in 2022.

7 / 7

Category counts are summed from wholly contained source areas; published disclosure-control adjustments are retained.

The denominator is residents aged 16 and over who were not in employment in the week before the Census, not all residents and not only people actively seeking work. Census day was 21 March 2021, during coronavirus restrictions. This describes the LSOA around the postcode, not a household or address. ONS applies statistical disclosure control, so small category counts are perturbed and components may differ slightly from the published total. England and Wales only; Scotland's Census was held separately in 2022.
