That averaging means a large authority with many companies and a small one with few can be compared on equal terms: what matters is how active local companies are, not the total size of the local economy.","The UK as a whole scores 1,000 on this index, so Stratford-on-Avon's composite of 1,011 places it just ahead of the national benchmark.

At 1,008, Stratford-on-Avon ranks 129th of 360 authorities, 8 points above the UK benchmark. It is the district's relatively lower-performing pillar, though it still outperforms 64.2% of authorities, suggesting companies here are adding staff at a rate modestly ahead of the national picture.","Investment covers equity raisers, equity raised and first-time raisers over the last five years. Stratford-on-Avon's strongest pillar, at 1,015 and ranked 45th of 360 authorities, it sits in the top 20% nationally and outperforms 87.5% of authorities. Companies in the district are attracting equity at a meaningfully higher rate than the UK average.","ESG reflects clean energy activity, other green activity, environmental accolades, social and governance signals, and not-for-profit proxy status. Stratford-on-Avon scores 1,037 on this pillar, 37 points above the UK benchmark and ranking 114th of 361 authorities. That margin suggests companies here show relatively strong ESG characteristics compared with the national picture, outperforming 68.4% of authorities.","The chart below shows how Stratford-on-Avon's composite score compares with neighbouring authorities across Warwickshire and the wider West Midlands region.",[98,101,104,107,110,113],{"question":99,"answer":100},"What is Stratford-on-Avon's score on the UK Local Growth Index?","Stratford-on-Avon scores 1,011, placing it 73rd of 361 local authorities and 11 points above the UK benchmark of 1,000.",{"question":102,"answer":103},"How does Stratford-on-Avon compare with the rest of Warwickshire?","It ranks 2nd of the 5 Warwickshire authorities, scoring 12 points above the county score of 999.
