Ranked from the borough-wide average percentile in each official dataset (MHCLG / VOA, Ofcom, DEFRA, Ordnance Survey), measured against every covered UK postcode. Percentiles describe a position against England, not a value judgement — read each alongside the borough's full report. No estimates dressed as fact, no opaque scoring.

Truely is the intelligence layer over the UK public record. Rankings turn official government data into a single, sortable view of how every covered local authority compares — and link straight through to the underlying borough and postcode reports, so a ranking is a starting point for a real decision, not the end of one. All figures come from official UK government data under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
