# Civometry
Official United Kingdom statistics, area by area. Every figure is either published by the body named
beside it, or transparent arithmetic on published figures with the sum shown. Figures Civometry
calculated are labelled as such and are not official statistics. Missing figures are shown as
missing, with the publisher's reason, and are never treated as zero.
## Rules for citation
- Cite the original publisher for a published figure.

## Claims checked
- "Crime is rising": The Crime Survey put headline crime at 4.3 million incidents in the year ending March 2026 — down on the year and less than a quarter of its 1995 peak — though adding fraud roughly doubles the total and fraud is not falling. https://civometry.com/claims/crime-is-rising
- "Immigration is at record levels": The record was 2023 — net migration peaked at 944,000 in the year ending March 2023 and was 171,000 in 2025, though arrivals remain high by any pre-2021 standard. https://civometry.com/claims/immigration-is-at-record-levels
- "People are getting poorer": Real average pay is at a record high — but it took fifteen years to regain its 2008 level, and real household disposable income has slipped since late 2024. https://civometry.com/claims/people-are-getting-poorer
- "Taxes are at record levels": Government receipts took 40.1% of GDP in the year ending March 2026 — the highest share since 1982-83, but below the post-war peak of 42.8% in 1950-51. https://civometry.com/claims/taxes-are-at-record-levels
- "The prisons are full": In the week beginning 24 August 2026 the prison population of England and Wales was 86,843 against a useable operational capacity of 88,937 — 97.6% full, with 2,094 places to spare. https://civometry.com/claims/the-prisons-are-full
