Colour shows quintile position against 361 UK Local Authorities. Green is the best position for someone moving here; red is the worst. Direction is set per indicator — higher pay, lower rent, less crime, less deprivation are all green.
Schools data
School quality is published by the Education Scotland regulator, which uses a methodology distinct from England's Ofsted. We don't synthesise a Scotland schools list here — for current ratings of schools in Dumfries and Galloway, see the official Education Scotland.
