Subnational statistics help us understand the unique strengths and opportunities of our local area. However, no single number can capture the complex reality we live in and experience.

You can use this interactive tool below, to explore a basket of subnational indicators and find out how County Durham compares with others across the UK. All the data are already publicly available and links to the original data sources and more information on this tool are available on the Office for National Statistics site.

The tool brings together in one place a selection of metrics for which data are available at local authority level, promoting transparency and making it easy for users to access and visualise, while linking back to the original publicly available data sources.
