City of Edinburgh
Nation: Scotland · Area code S12000036
Every figure the hub holds for City of Edinburgh from its datasets by area, each as its publisher gives it. Where a dataset's chart compares two periods, its card shows both, drawn to scale, and every figure is in the table below the cards. Each card opens its dataset's page, with its source, licence and checks.

Wards
17 wards, 17 of them current
Each dataset gives its figures on its publisher's own year of wards, which councils redraw some of every May, and the hub never moves a figure onto another year's wards: a ward that has ended since keeps its figures, one that began after a dataset's year shows – for it, and one its publisher gives no figure for shows not published.

Small areas
770 small areas in 5 datasets
Each dataset gives its figures on its own file's areas and edition (LSOAs and MSOAs of 2011 or 2021, data zones), and the hub never moves a figure onto another's areas. An area is listed here where the ONS's output area lookups, or for Scotland and Northern Ireland the area register, put it in this council.
Every figure here is in this council's small areas file (JSON), and each dataset's whole file is on its page.
Traffic count points
DfT's annual average daily flow of motor vehicles past each count point, both ways, on an average day of the year: counted where DfT counted it that year, estimated from earlier counts and traffic trends otherwise, which DfT says should be used with caution. Each point stands for its road between the two junctions named.
- 188 to 7,684
