LG Inform Ward Profiles

General purpose statistical profiles of wards are available through the Local Government Association’s LG Inform Plus tool. These profiles also break down the data further to show differences in conditions within the ward. Much of the data comes from the 2021 Census, but there is also more recent information on population size, levels of deprivation and unemployment benefits being claimed.
