Real-terms change in local authority per-person spending power since 2010/11, by local authority

Source: Institute for Government analysis of MHCLG, 'Core Spending Power table: final local government finance settlement 2025 to 2026', HMT, 'Spending review document', 2025, ONS, 'Mid-year population estimates' 2024 and ONS, 'Population projections', 2025.Notes: This shows upper- and single-tier local authorities in England only. Spending power before 2015/16 is an estimate using changes in revenue spending power. This excludes any local authorities that reorganised in this time. This does not include 2024/25 and 2025/26 because there is no local authority-level population figures in those years.Get the data Download image
