The data contained here is generally presented down to the smallest geographical area possible. In many cases the data goes down as far as local authority district (LAD) level, but several of the data sets – particularly relating to educational achievements – only go as far as county or unitary authority areas.

We have tried to be as comprehensive as possible in making data available that is most relevant to Local Area Data. However, if you are working with Local Data and cannot find the data you are looking for, please contact the SLIM team.
