Stirling council area. Every figure carries its own date.
What has changed — and how does Stirling compare?
Follow the local trend, compare it with Scotland, 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. Scotland 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.
Compare growth to see whether the population is changing faster here. A larger population alone does not tell us whether services are keeping up.

Published UK House Price Index average price, all property types and all buyers, not seasonally adjusted. Entire series comes from the 2026-07 official full-file release, preserving its historical revisions and exact area codes. It is a mix-adjusted average, not the median price paid.
Prices are rounded to the nearest £1,000. These are cash prices, before allowing for inflation.
Compare the same census across places. Earlier years are included where the source and area can be checked; these are snapshots, not an annual record.

UK Facts calculation: output-area counts summed using the official NRS 2022 geography index only when every required cell is numeric. The source dash has no verified definition in the archive or its disclosure notes, so affected sums are withheld; it is not treated as zero. Dash-cell counts are retained in diagnostics. Cells are privacy-adjusted and may not add to independently published totals. Each percentage uses its own table denominator.
