How to cite
The rule is short: cite the body that published the number. Cite Civometry as well only when the number is one Civometry worked out — a rate, a ratio, a rank, a change or a score — because that arithmetic is ours and the underlying figures are theirs.
A published figure
Name the publisher, the publication, the period and the release date. Civometry need not appear at all.
Office for National Statistics, Price Index of Private Rents, UK: monthly price statistics, July 2026 release. Median monthly private rent, Manchester: £1,150.
A figure Civometry calculated
Say whose figures went in, and that the arithmetic is ours. Every calculated figure on the site carries the sum that produced it, so a reader can reproduce it.
Civometry calculation using HM Land Registry and Office for National Statistics figures: average house price ÷ median full-time annual pay, Camden, June 2026 and 2025 — 15.7 years.
A page
Give the page title, the URL and the date you read it, as you would any web source. Pages are updated when their sources are, so the date matters.
Civometry (2026) Median annual pay, full-time employees, by local authority, ranked. Available at: https://civometry.com/rankings/pay/all/latest (Accessed: 3 September 2026).
A dataset
Cite the publisher’s dataset, not ours: Civometry holds a copy, it does not produce the data. Each publication page in the data catalogue links to the official landing page and names the exact release read.
Reuse and licence
The statistics are published under the Open Government Licence v3.0 and may be reused under its terms, which require attribution to the original publisher. Civometry’s own calculations, wording and page structure may be quoted with attribution to Civometry. Copy buttons across the site produce a sentence with the source and period already attached, so a quote does not lose its provenance on the way out.
