Where each area's figures are

8,598 small areas on England's MSOAs of 2021, Wales's MSOAs of 2021 and Scotland's intermediate zones of 2022, too many to chart. Each area's figures are on its council's page, under Small areas, with every other dataset's for the same council; the councils are listed below. The whole file is in the CSV and JSON.

The hub keeps each figure on the area its file gives, never moved onto another year's areas. An area is found under the council the ONS's output area lookups put it in, or for Scotland and Northern Ireland the area register; an LSOA of 2011 that ended in 2021, which no lookup of today holds, under the council its own file names. 8,598 of the 8,598 are under a council with a page.

Notes

Domestic gas meters and the gas they used over the year, weather corrected, as DESNZ gives them. DESNZ could not place some meters in an area, and counts them only in Great Britain's total; areas with no gas network give no figure.
England's and Wales's MSOAs of 2021 and Scotland's intermediate zones of 2022. The median is DESNZ's, of the meters in the area.
