About EconProfile

EconProfile consolidates official economic data from ONS, HMRC, and Land Registry into standardised, visual profiles for every local authority in Great Britain.

Our Mission

EconProfile provides free, comprehensive economic profiles for every local authority in England, Wales, and Scotland. We bring together data from multiple official sources into a single, consistent format so that researchers, policymakers, and local government officers can quickly understand the economic landscape of any area.

The UK has some of the best open economic data in the world, but it is scattered across dozens of datasets, portals, and file formats. EconProfile consolidates this into one place: standardised profiles with clear benchmarking against national averages, visual analytics, and downloadable data.
