Independent service run by Suffrago – not an official government website. Every figure comes from an official UK publisher under its open licence and is checked against that source each time the data is refreshed.

Somerset, the former county's code

Somerset County Council's code until 1 April 2023, when Somerset Council took its place over the same area. Some publishers still give Somerset Council's figures under this code, and the hub keeps them here, as they label them, never moved to the council's own. The council: Somerset. Area code E10000027.

Every figure the hub holds for Somerset, the former county's code from its datasets by area, each as its publisher gives it. Where a dataset's chart compares two periods, its card shows both, drawn to scale, and every figure is in the table below the cards. Each card opens its dataset's page, with its source, licence and checks.
