Download the data

This is the proof behind the simple pages. Nine CSVs and one Excel workbook, all free. Four I prepared and tidied so they open cleanly in a spreadsheet; the other six are the publishers' own files, served exactly as they came, so you can check my working against them.

Can I reuse it?

Yes. The original data belongs to ONS, DWP, the Scottish Government, End Child Poverty and Loughborough University. Their licence rules still apply to the original files.

My cleaned files, charts and words are free to reuse if you credit Scotland Counted. You do not need permission. Journalists and researchers can ask for a different file format.

Any calculation I made is explained on the how I counted it page.

If a number does not match, tell me

People can make mistakes when copying or cleaning data. I check reported errors, fix confirmed mistakes and keep a public record.
