“(county)” marks a figure that belongs to the county council, shown on each of its districts. “Not published” means the nation publishes no figure for this by council; a dash means none was published for that council.
What does this measure show?
Net spending on adult social care per resident. Net spending is after the fees, charges and grants the service brings in, from each council’s latest revenue outturn return, divided by its population. Where a county council runs the service, a district shows the county’s figure. Scottish councils pass most of it to health and social care partnerships, which the figure includes.

The comparison figure for each nation, each on its own measure: England £453 (Median, England councils, worked out here); Scotland £701 (Median, Scotland councils, worked out here); Wales £615 (Median, Wales councils, worked out here).
Colours group councils into five bands of equal size for number measures, so each band holds about a fifth of councils; ratings use one colour per rating. Where the nations measure something differently, each nation’s councils are banded among themselves, on the same colours, and the legend gives each nation’s own bands. There is no combined score. How every measure is worked out, and what it cannot tell you, is on the methodology page.
Which boundaries does the map use?
Council boundaries from the Office for National Statistics, May 2026 edition, generalised to 500 metres, matching the 2026-27 council tax year. Councils merged since 2019 are shown as the council that exists now, and each such council’s page names the councils it replaced. Reorganisation already enacted for April 2027 in Surrey is noted on the pages of the councils it affects.
350
council tax areas in England, Scotland and Wales, and Northern Ireland’s 11 councils, are drawn. Households in Northern Ireland pay domestic rates, not council tax, so its councils are shown by their own measures where they publish them.
