Neighbourhood wellbeing & Census context

Official neighbourhood wellbeing indices (for example England's IMD and devolved equivalents) rank small areas within their nation — never treat deciles as a UK-wide league table. Census 2021 describes the statistical neighbourhood (tenure, density, age) rather than individual households. Combine these structural facts with the live-change feed, then open the interactive map for filters, comparisons and downloads.
