What changed most

The largest published movements in each local measure. Every figure is the difference between two periods published for the same local authority, and each measure is ranked on its own: a change in pay and a change in recorded crime are not the same kind of number. Areas with no published change are not ranked, never counted as no change.

How this page is built

Each list comes from the same layer that draws the map for that measure, so a movement here and a movement on the map are the same number. An area whose change is exactly zero is in neither list, because it did not move. Ties keep alphabetical order and mean nothing. Money is in cash terms: nothing on this site is adjusted for inflation.
