Regional aggregation uses the ONS 2024 LAD-to-Region lookup for England, plus a synthetic "region" for each devolved nation. 10 councils were excluded because they couldn't be matched to an LAD24CD (typically pending Local Government Reorganisation or county-tier slugs that don't have a direct LAD analogue). See the headline accuracy audit for the per-council numbers.
