This is a REALLY good tool, that busts the myth that the biggest problem facing deprived areas is that there talented young people leave. Let's take the case of Hartlepool... 🧵

Congratulations to @bothness and the ONS Innovate team! Also shout outs to @danwainwright, @fryford and Theo Jolliffe, who were part of this work and have since left for pastures new. Really proud of all the wonderful stuff we made to give census back to the people.

As to so-called ‘greedflation’, it is hard to find evidence in UK company data. The manufacturing net rate of return has been falling since 2018, while services profitability remains around pre-pandemic levels. #profitability #statistics 6/15 ons.gov.uk/economy/nationala…
