Civometry

Correlation explorer

Any two local-authority series plotted against each other: one point per area, using each area’s latest published figure on each axis. Only areas where both series publish a figure are plotted; an area missing from either is left out, never treated as zero.

Correlation is not causation. A pattern here says two things vary together across areas — it cannot say one causes the other. Areas differ in population, age, geography and a thousand other ways no two series capture, and many pairs correlate only because both track a third thing.

Pearson’s r = -0.64 — a moderate negative association across the 296 local authorities with a figure in both series.

Horizontal: Deprivation: IMD average score, 2025, published by MHCLG (series page). Vertical: Mean domestic electricity consumption per meter, 2024, published by DESNZ (series page). r is Pearson’s product-moment coefficient on the paired values, computed here.
