West Lothian council area. Every figure carries its own date.

UK census offices via Nomis
Official source →Direct official census counts for the exact requested geography code. Native table category labels retained. Shares use this table’s own total; privacy-adjusted cells may not sum exactly to that total. The 2011 UK table retains its own category structure, including a separate Traveller category. It is not automatically comparable with later national census categories or modern district boundaries.

National Records of Scotland
Official source →UK Facts sums official UV201 output-area counts using the exact NRS OA2022-to-CA2019 lookup. Each category is published only if every constituent cell is numeric. An undefined source dash is held as missing, never zero. Shares use the sum of All People from this same table. Scotland’s census was held in 2022. These are native Scottish broad categories, with African separate from Caribbean or Black. The national term minority ethnic also includes some White groups, so it must not be read as non-White. Privacy-adjusted cells can differ from published totals.

Do not sum a direct county record and its member district records.
Every lower-tier authority belongs to exactly one county/equivalent edition.
Country comparators use direct official country totals with matching definitions and dates.
Do not average percentages, prices or rents across member councils.
A metropolitan county, ceremonial county or combined authority is not interchangeable with its current councils.
Boundary vintage is attached to every authority and ward; historical series need compatible definitions or explicit breaks.
Scottish Census 2022 and recorded crime are separate systems; do not invent Police.uk ward data.
Existing city hostnames and brands remain intact; a distinct area slug resolves collisions.
Geography-checked does not certify data, council project reviews, branding or publication.
County editions use current upper-tier or equivalent council footprints from the reviewed registry, not historic/ceremonial counties.
Each lower-tier authority and ward is stored once. Upper-tier counties link to constituent districts; they never duplicate ward arrays or include independent unitary authorities.
Published official county estimates are used directly. Derived percentages require complete matching numerators and denominators; prices, medians and district percentages are never averaged.
Country references are actual published England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland totals, with incompatible definitions kept separate.
Retained snapshots keep original observation and request dates; reuse and a new build date do not prove freshness.
Police publication issues suppress dependent totals and changes. Scottish recorded crime is separate from mapped Police.uk records.
Source checking and automated tests are not independent analytical assurance or AQuA certification.
Local plans and projects are selected reviewed examples, not an exhaustive council programme. Proposed actions are analysis, not approved funding or promised delivery dates.
The county/equivalent area, its member councils and wards are separate levels. A direct county total is never added to its own districts.
Statistical records retain their original retrieval dates. A new website release does not mean every source has been freshly collected.
Checks follow the government’s AQuA Book principles: define the question, retain sources, check calculations and explain uncertainty. Automated checks do not constitute independent assurance or certification.

census: Scotland Census 2022 measures use checked current ward codes. Aggregates containing an undefined source dash are withheld pending a verified symbol definition. Scottish degree definitions differ; household-deprivation measures are not included in this univariate download.
crime: Official council-area annual series; ward-level Police Scotland crime is not available through the Police UK API.
housePrice: 271 published monthly observations, 2004-01 to 2026-07.
housing: Official UKHPI home prices; same-authority private rents unavailable.
monthlyRent: No same-geography average monthly private rent in this official feed. Broader rental-market areas are not substituted.
population: 30 of 30 requested annual observations available; latest 2025.
wards: All 9 current official wards included.
Project locations have not been assigned to current wards without a verified boundary match.
The proposed action sequence is UK Facts analysis, not a council commitment.
Announcements, permissions, construction and completed facilities are distinguished; benefits are not treated as measured outcomes.
Whole current council area, which may include several towns, rural areas or islands. It is not necessarily the named city settlement.
