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 Estyn regulator, which uses a methodology distinct from England's Ofsted. We don't synthesise a Wales schools list here — for current ratings of schools in Torfaen, see the official Estyn site.
