Outcode rankings

Every active English outcode scored 0–100 for three personas. Weighted from HM Land Registry price paid, Ofsted ratings, Police.uk street crime, EPC certificates, and OSM amenity density.

How the scores are built

  1. Every Sunday we pull raw metrics for each outcode from our open-data backbone.
  2. Each metric is ranked nationally into a 0–100 percentile.
  3. Percentiles are combined with persona-specific weights (e.g. Family = 30% crime inverse + 25% school quality + 20% affordability + ...).
  4. Outcodes with insufficient data — e.g. a force-level crime publication gap — are scored only on the metrics that are reliable, and flagged.
