Anxiety, mean out of 10, every council ranked

The average answer from 0 to 10 about the day before, where 0 is not at all anxious. Figures for 2022-23, published for 347 councils in the UK. Lowest first: the order says where a council sits, not whether that is good.

Lowest: Newham, 1.9 of 10. The council in the middle: Wychavon, 3.3 of 10. Highest: Spelthorne, 5.2 of 10.

From a survey. ONS publishes a 95% range beside each council's figure, and for 294 of the 347 councils it takes in the figure of the council in the middle. Councils a few places apart here, and many further apart, may not truly differ.
