The values were observed between 2017 and 2026. A place appears only when it publishes this exact metric, so an absent place means missing data rather than a low value. Only published cities with at least 20,000 residents and city-level observations qualify. ## Sources www.ons.gov.uk — https://www.ons.gov.uk/explore-local-statistics/api/v1/data.csv?indicator=modelled-unemployment&geo=ltla&time=2023-01-01 Eurostat — https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/api/dissemination/statistics/1.0/data/urb_clma?format=JSON&lang=en www.nomisweb.co.uk — https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/api/v01/dataset/NM_17_5.data.csv?geography=TYPE423&variable=83&measures=20599&time=latest www.nomisweb.co.uk — https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/api/v01/dataset/NM_17_5.data.csv?geography=S12000036&time=latest&variable=83&measures=20599 www.nomisweb.co.uk — https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/api/v01/dataset/NM_17_5.data.csv?geography=E06000066&time=latest&variable=83&measures=20599 ## Cite This citation identifies the ImmigrationDB compilation/page.
