Server instructions

Open Index publishes UK public data by area (house prices, pay, crime, deprivation, schools, broadband, air quality and more), each figure at the level its publisher released it. Quote a figure with its place, period and source, and link the URL given beside it. Say "recorded crime" rather than calling a place safe or dangerous. Deprivation indices are measured differently in each nation and are never compared across nations.
