Comparable Price Benchmark
Comparing responsive repairs cost intensity for Leeds against the stock-retaining urban authorities.
This is spend intensity, not price per job. Published ledgers contain no job counts or property counts, so a true unit rate cannot be derived from open data. The figures below are annualised category spend divided by dwelling stock.
Differences in how each council codes its expenditure — and in how many months it publishes — move this figure independently of any real price difference.
