North Warwickshire scores 1,002 on the UK Local Growth Index, placing it 94th of 361 local authorities and 2 points above the UK benchmark. Its standout result is on Scaling, where it ranks 9th nationally. Investment is the area where local companies are least active relative to the UK average.
Each score is averaged across the authority's active companies, with corporate groups counted once, so it reflects how active local companies are rather than the size of the local economy. That makes it a fair comparison between authorities with very different numbers of businesses.
The UK benchmark is set at 1,000, so North Warwickshire's composite score of 1,002 puts it fractionally ahead of the national average. The likely range for that score is 975 to 1,029, which shows how much it could shift with a slightly different mix of companies; a score is only published when that range is narrow enough to rely on.
