Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon council area. Every figure carries its own date.

Follow the local trend, compare it with Northern Ireland, and switch to Greater London or a nearby city. Start with 30 years where the figures support it.
Which places and years are compared?
The three nearest other official UK cities, measured in a straight line between the official representative place points, not by road or ferry distance. Cities across national borders are included. The same council area is not counted twice. These are geographical neighbours, not a ranking of similar economies or services. Each figure is compared only when its period, definition, unit and source are compatible. The national reference is the origin city's own nation, not an average of the selected cities.
Greater London covers all 32 boroughs and the City of London. It is a large capital region, not a similar-sized council. Northern Ireland is a published country total, not an average of the selected places.
Use “Change over time” to compare growth between places of different sizes. Cash prices do not allow for inflation. Shorter histories and missing figures stay visible.
