Community centres and village halls per 10,000 residents, every council ranked

The community centres and village halls mapped on OpenStreetMap in the council, for each 10,000 residents. Counted against the people who live here, so a place full of visitors reads high.

Lowest: Hyndburn, 0.2. The council in the middle: West Lancashire, 2.1. Highest: Orkney Islands, 13.7.
