The same scoring model, city by city. In London, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Leeds, purchase prices are HM Land Registry sale medians and safety is ranked from police.uk data; rents and other life scores are indicative. Edinburgh and Glasgow are neighbourhood explorers without scores.
Scored means every area has a guide and a place in the ranked map. Purchase medians trace to a recorded Land Registry sample (shown on each guide); safety is a police.uk-based rank; rents and the other life scores are indicative. Live TfL journeys are available on the London map; elsewhere commute figures are estimates.
Neighbourhood explorer means searchable area guides, approximate pins, feature filters, comparisons and shortlists on the map, with official city-level figures but no neighbourhood prices or scores. Edinburgh has 20 guides and Glasgow 19; Scotland is not covered by Land Registry or police.uk.
Coming soon means no editorial area guides or scored map data yet. Those pages are deliberately kept out of search results until there is something on them worth finding, and they will re-enter the index automatically once the data lands.
Each new city starts from a set of neighbourhood names and coordinates, each checked against the postcode district it falls in. Sale medians then come from the Land Registry pipeline and safety from police.uk; a dataset is only labelled sourced once that pipeline has actually run. Life scores other than safety are still indicative and must not be mistaken for measured public statistics.
The slow part is not the data, it is checking that a neighbourhood boundary matches what residents mean by the name. Get that wrong and every number attached to it is wrong too, however good the source. The data and sources page lists the current status of every dataset, city by city.
If a city you care about is not here, tell us. Requests genuinely affect the order.
