Partial coverage: English regions cover only the domains published at ITL1 level (work, living standards, housing, population health, wellbeing), not the full 11, so this score measures a narrower slice of resilience than the UK and nation scores and is best used to compare English regions with one another. Correction, July 2026 release: earlier releases understated English regional scores because weights were not renormalised over the domains present; the score now shown is weight normalised.

Scores are stress readings out of 100; higher means more stress. Most indicators update annually or quarterly, so a large movement usually marks a new official release entering the index, not a change that happened within the month.

London · measured

5 systems under review, London

Each figure is a stress score from 0 to 100. Higher means more stress, so the most stressed systems sit at the top.

Rows link to the UK-level detail page (per-region detail is a later phase). Scores shown are London-specific.

Weighting

What drives the headline figure

Systemic risk

Systemic Risk Penalty

None applied

No systemic risk penalty applied this release; fewer than three domains are in the Critical band. The penalty activates when three or more domains simultaneously reach Critical (+5 pts) or Crisis (+10 pts), reflecting the increased probability that concurrent failures become self-reinforcing.

Data provenance

8 of 8 indicators are drawn from verified official sources, each labelled on its metric card. The remaining 0 are provisional placeholders, marked as seed where they appear, because no clean official figure is published yet; placeholders are shown for transparency and are excluded from all scoring.
