UNDERSTANDING THE DATA
GDP, house prices, unemployment and disposable household income measure different things. Check each map's year, unit and source.
ONS INDICATORS
GDP per head measures economic output, not what the average person earns.
House prices represent property values; Northern Ireland is reported quarterly.
Unemployment rates are survey estimates and have sampling uncertainty.
Unemployment is the share of economically active people aged 16 and over who are unemployed. It differs from economic inactivity.
THE FIGURES AT A GLANCE
HM Land Registry · August 2026 GB / Q2 2026 NI. Provisional estimates may be revised.
BEYOND GDP / HOUSEHOLD INCOME
In London, economic output per resident is far higher than gross disposable household income per head. These are different measures.
COMPARE TWO MEASURES
GDP per head measures output, not the salary of an average resident.
GDHI per head describes household income available to spend or save.
Subtracting GDHI from GDP is not a measure of taxes or wages.
