How the relation is decided

Each council’s change is its latest published figure against its figure exactly one year earlier by period end. The national change is the national series’ own two figures. The gap is the council’s change minus the national change, in points of percent change (here, percentage points, because the measure is itself a percentage). Two changes are in line when the gap is within a quarter of the national change’s size, with a floor of 0.2 percentage points (here ±0.6). Beyond that, a council that fell faster than the national figure when its change is larger in the same direction, more slowly when smaller, and opposite when the signs differ. A council with no figure at the earlier date is not comparable, never unchanged.

Private rent annual change: nationally fell from 5.9% in July 2025 to 3.7% in July 2026, down 2.3 percentage points; 167 of 316 councils moved faster, 53 the opposite way.
