The series as CSV
Every number on this site, as a file you can open.
Each place page links to its own series. The URL is the path the file has in our repository with a leading slash, so data/prisons/series/leeds.csv is served at /data/prisons/series/leeds.csv. Those addresses do not change.
The four datasets
Weather stations
Met Office · 37 files · vintage 11 August 2026
One file per station, every metric, every month on record. Metrics are tmax, tmin, af_days, rain_mm and sun_hours.
Columns: station, year, month, metric, value, flag, provisional
Prisons
Ministry of Justice · 122 files · vintage 11 August 2026
One file per establishment. Population and both capacity measures are separate metrics; the crowding percentage is ours and is not in the file.
Columns: place, period, metric, value
Ports and airports
Department for Transport · Civil Aviation Authority · 108 files · vintage 11 August 2026
Two publishers, so two directories: series/ports/ is quarterly freight tonnage, series/airports/ is monthly passengers.
Columns: place, period, metric, value
Homelessness and temporary accommodation
MHCLG · 308 files · vintage 11 August 2026
One file per local authority, plus regional and England totals as their own places.
Columns: place, period, metric, value
What the files are, and are not
- Digits as published
- Values are the publisher’s own characters, never re-rounded on a round trip.
- Missing is missing
- A period with no published reading has no row. Nothing is read as zero.
- No derived figures
- Crowding percentages, ranks and year-on-year changes are computed by us and are not in these files.
- One vintage
- These are the current parse. Earlier vintages are archived in the repository, not served here.
The files are parsed from the publishers’ own releases and carry their licensing. Each dataset’s meta.md in the repository records the source URLs, the release schedule, the known quirks and the series breaks.
