Sources and method

Ranks. 1 is the highest value. Ranks are worked out on the figures as stored (two more decimal places than shown), and councils with the same stored figure share the better rank. Each rank is out of the councils that have a figure on that measure, so the number ranked can be under 361.

One base for every rate. Every rate divides by the council's mid-2025 population (ONS), including DWP spending for 2024/25, so all councils share one base.

Councils like this. The five councils nearest on population (on a log scale), share aged 65 and over, median full-time pay, the ONS 2021 rural-urban class (England and Wales only) and region. Each measure is put on the same scale across all councils before the distances are added. A comparison, not a control: other measures would pick other councils.

Council seats. Seats by party from LG Inform (Local Government Association), as held there in 2026, a snapshot straight after the main round of local elections, not updated for by-elections or councillors changing party. Which party holds more than half is worked out from those seats. It is not a record of who runs the council, which can differ through coalitions, minority administrations and later changes. LG Inform counts Plaid Cymru, local parties and independents together, as independents and other parties, so where that group holds more than half the seats, whether one party holds more than half is not known from this source, and that group is never named as a council's largest party. Districts in two-tier areas also show their county council. Scotland and Northern Ireland are not covered.

MPs. The winner in each 2024 general election constituency that overlaps the council (House of Commons Library results), with the share of the council's residents living in it: Census 2021 output areas in England and Wales (ONS best-fit lookup), NRS mid-2024 data zones in Scotland, and Census 2021 data zones placed by their population centre in Northern Ireland.

The UK figures. The UK bar is the councils' numerators added up over their denominators added up, so it is the UK rate, not an average of councils. Population compares with the median council. DWP spending compares with England and Wales, the councils DWP's figures rank. Median pay is the ONS's own UK median from the same table.

DWP totals in 2018/19 and 2020/21. DWP's 2018/19 total for each council is more than its benefit lines add up to, by the same amount as its Personal Independence Payment for under-65s, which looks counted twice (£9.1 billion across 350 councils). DWP's 2020/21 total for each council leaves out Universal Credit, which its table shows separately (£38.2 billion across 350 councils). The totals are shown as published and the points are ringed on each council's chart. No rank, per-resident figure or Biggest changes period uses either year.
