Every tile answers three things

  1. 1What area? Postcode, neighbourhood, ward or council is always named.
  2. 2Who says so? The published source sits right beside the number.
  3. 3How fresh? The date it was published or last refreshed.

A count of children, so a large ward will show a larger number than a small one with more hardship. The share is the comparable figure. 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. Rates divide by a mid-year child population estimate that can lag local change, small counts are rounded and disclosure-controlled, and the figures are provisional and revised in later releases. The area is an electoral ward, typically several thousand people. This measure does cover England, Scotland and Wales on one definition.

Counts people claiming unemployment-related benefits -- Universal Credit while required to search for work, plus remaining Jobseeker's Allowance claimants. THIS IS NOT THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE. It leaves out unemployed people who do not claim, includes some people who are in low-paid work, and its level moves when benefit rules change rather than when the job market does. Values are rounded, so small numbers are approximate, and the figure describes the statistical neighbourhood containing this postcode -- around 1,500 people -- not the postcode itself.

Counts companies whose REGISTERED OFFICE is this postcode. A registered office is not a place of business: accountants and company-formation agents register thousands of companies at a single address, so a large number here usually means one agent rather than a business district. Sole traders and ordinary partnerships are not on the register at all, so this undercounts businesses as most people use the word. Only companies with an active status on the monthly snapshot are counted; dissolved and liquidating companies are excluded. No address, company name or officer detail is stored or shown.

Modelled annual average for the 1 km grid square containing this postcode — an estimate from Defra's national air-quality model, not a measurement taken here. It is a BACKGROUND concentration: the roadside increment is deliberately excluded, so streets beside busy roads inside this square are worse than this figure. Model methodology changes between years, so year-on-year comparisons are indicative.

Defra's published ozone metric: the modelled number of days on which the daily maximum running 8-hour concentration exceeds 120 µg/m³. It is not an annual average concentration, and Defra publish no such figure for ozone. Modelled for the 1 km square containing this postcode, not measured here, and a background estimate that excludes the roadside increment.

Small category cells and a complementary cell are suppressed to prevent differencing.

This is the estimated chance that a home in this 1 km square exceeds the 200 Bq/m³ radon Action Level. It is NOT a measurement of radon at this address, and no map can tell you what any individual property contains — only a test in the property itself can, over three to six months. The mapping is also deliberately precautionary: BGS class each square by the HIGHEST radon potential found anywhere within it, so most homes in a square have a lower potential than the band shown. It does not apply to basements, cellars or underground rooms at all, which should be treated as higher risk wherever they are. For a definitive assessment of a specific address, UKHSA's UKradon service sells an address report.

UKHSA define a radon Affected Area as one where at least one home in a hundred is expected to exceed the Action Level. This applies that definition to the indicative 1 km band, so it inherits the same precaution: the square is classed by its worst point, and most homes inside an Affected Area are not above the Action Level. Being inside one is a reason to test, not a finding about this property.
