Statistical Standards
To ensure data quality and international comparability, we adhere to the following standards:
System of National Accounts (SNA)
Economic data, including GDP and sector contributions, follows the SNA 2008 framework adopted by the ONS for consistent macroeconomic accounting.
Demographic Projections
Population estimates between census years are based on the Component Method (births, deaths, and net migration).
Labor Statistics
Unemployment and labor force participation definitions align with International Labour Organization (ILO) standards.
Data Processing
Raw data is processed to enhance readability without altering the underlying statistical truth.
- Normalization: Values are converted to consistent units (e.g., standardizing currency to billions/millions).
- Visualization: Data is rendered into vector charts for clarity.
- Trend Analysis: Compound Annual Growth Rates (CAGR) and Year-over-Year (YoY) changes are calculated to provide context.
Disclaimer
BetterONS is an independent initiative to visualize public data. While every effort is made to ensure accuracy, official government publications usually remain the primary legal reference. Data generally lags by 1-2 quarters due to official release schedules.
