Notes

Official statistics in development, as the ONS labels them. Rents are the ONS's averages, rounded to the nearest £1; they can't be added up or averaged across areas.
The ONS publishes no figure for the City of London or the Isles of Scilly. Scotland's and Northern Ireland's rents are published for their own rental areas, not councils, so they are not here.
The headline is the ONS's figure for the United Kingdom, from the same table.
