The comparison figure for each nation, each on its own measure: England 4.9% (England average rise, MHCLG table 7); Scotland 7.1% (Change in the Scottish Government’s Scotland average, worked out here); Wales 5.2% (Wales average rise, Welsh Government table 2).
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.

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.
