For each indicator shown in the Census profile, the area's ranking among the 376 local and unitary authorities within England and Wales; and its ranking within Wales or the relevant English Government Office Region is shown.

In each case, rankings are calculated in descending order: the authority with the highest proportion for a given indicator is ranked '1'. It is important to note that all rankings are calculated based on percentage size and not numerical values. ONS makes no comment as to the merits of high or low ranking for any indicator. Please bear in mind that, in some circumstances, areas may have exactly the same value for a given indicator, and may therefore be 'tied' for positions in the ranking.
