Accuracy

Corrections

The figures must be right. If I make a mistake, I fix it and list the change here instead of quietly hiding it.

Report an error

Use the contact form with the page, the figure and what you believe it should be. If you can point at the source, better still.

I fix confirmed errors as soon as I can and list them below. You can also tell me if the number is right but you think I have explained it unfairly.

DatePageWhat changed
1 August 2026Pay and council-area pagesThe published ASHE numbers were correct, but I described the selected full-time PAYE sample as a typical wage and implied that the £51 difference between two separate medians measured wages leaving Glasgow. It does not. I removed those claims, made the sample exclusions prominent, added the current minimum-wage and living-cost evidence, and removed the pay estimate from campaign emails.

Known limitations

Some questions cannot be answered safely by the available data. Those limits are listed on the how I counted it page.
