compare_places
ClaudeTwo UK areas of the same level side by side on the same published figures, each with its own period and source. Key figures by default.
Overview
Open Index is a free UK public-data atlas. Find places and Great Britain postcodes, read published figures, compare areas of the same level and rank councils within valid scopes. Figures include their period, source, licence and a page to cite. Coverage gaps are explicit. Deprivation measures are never ranked across nations. The service is read-only and needs no sign-in.
