How establishments are placed in areas

Each FSA local authority is matched to its ONS Local Authority District (April 2025) code, and each district to its ITL2 area using the ONS LAD → ITL lookup (January 2025). Six authority names differ between the two sources and are matched by an explicit, checked list (for example “Hull City” → Kingston upon Hull, City of).

Two cases cannot be placed by the lookup alone: North Ayrshire, which spans two ITL2 areas, and the port health authorities (Hull and Goole Port, River Tees). Their establishments are placed by testing their coordinates against the ONS ITL2 boundaries (generalised to 20 m). If an establishment has no coordinates or falls outside every boundary, it is not guessed: it stays in the national edition only. There are 398 such establishments.

How figures are calculated

  • Shares use establishments with a published rating and an inspection date as the denominator. Exempt, awaiting inspection and awaiting publication are counted separately.
  • FHRS and FHIS figures are always calculated separately.
  • “Inspected within 2 years” compares the inspection date with the data date (13 November 2026).
  • Map shading is set separately for each scheme. FHRS areas use six navy bands set from the spread of all FHRS local authorities with at least 100 rated establishments (whole-number boundaries); the same bands shade FHRS regions on the UK map. Scottish (FHIS) local authorities use six ochre bands set from Scottish local authorities only, and Scotland’s six regions on the UK map use three ochre bands set from those regions. Navy and ochre colours are never on one scale.
  • Local authority pages with fewer than 100 rated establishments are kept out of search engines because the shares are unstable.

Coverage in this edition

19,371 establishments, 17,190 rated, 74.8% with coordinates. The FSA withholds addresses and coordinates for some businesses, for example those run from a private home.
