Suffrago UK Data Hub
RankingsVerificationMethods

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.

West Lothian

Nation: Scotland · Area code S12000040

Every figure the hub holds for West Lothian 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.

Wards

9 wards, 9 of them current

Each dataset gives its figures on its publisher's own year of wards, which councils redraw some of every May, and the hub never moves a figure onto another year's wards: a ward that has ended since keeps its figures, one that began after a dataset's year shows – for it, and one its publisher gives no figure for shows not published.

Small areas

296 small areas in 3 datasets

Each dataset gives its figures on its own file's areas and edition (LSOAs and MSOAs of 2011 or 2021, data zones), and the hub never moves a figure onto another's areas. An area is listed here where the ONS's output area lookups, or for Scotland and Northern Ireland the area register, put it in this council.

Every figure here is in this council's small areas file (JSON), and each dataset's whole file is on its page.

Traffic count points

Traffic at each count point, Great Britain, 2025

DfT's annual average daily flow of motor vehicles past each count point, both ways, on an average day of the year: counted where DfT counted it that year, estimated from earlier counts and traffic trends otherwise, which DfT says should be used with caution. Each point stands for its road between the two junctions named.
