UK local data directory

Find your local authority

Every UK local authority has a record here: its official codes and geography, and one dated figure from each specialist source that covers it, with a link to the full detail. Search by postcode or place name.

A postcode is sent to postcodes.io only to find its local authority. UK Places does not store it.

Source coverage

Different questions need different records.

Each source answers a distinct local question and keeps its detailed evidence on its own site.
