How areas are classified
Each measure of social mobility combines data from multiple indicators into a single ‘composite’ score.
For each measure (for example, ‘Innovation and growth’), 203 local authorities in the UK are classified according to their composite scores. The following labels show how each area is classified:
- most favourable group
- favourable group
- middle group
- unfavourable group
- least favourable group
The groups are not equally sized – the middle group is larger because most local authorities are very near the average.
