MethodLSOA-level counts, aggregated to the constituency by ONS lookup. Per-1,000 rates use ONS mid-year population estimates.
Comparison cohortNational average across all seats (575). MP-party average across seats with an MP of the same party.
Settlement-levelONS Built-Up Area lookup. Settlements that span ward boundaries get share-weighted totals.
CaveatRecorded ≠ committed. Reporting rates vary by category, area and demographic. Treat as a relative-comparison signal, not an absolute count.
