We will look for favourable secular trends in a number of publicly collected data. See below for the types and source. We are also using a simple smiley faces scale to assess quality of life change. See below for the validation of this approach.

1 Reduction in local public service costs (Council)
2 Decreased local crime rates (Police)
3 Improved local educational attainment (Schools)
4 Reduction in local benefit claims (Local Statistics)
5 Improvement in local health measures (NHS)
6 Reduced local family breakdown (Courts)
7 A measurable increase in population stability (Housing)
8 Measured improvement in local quality of life (Thymometry)
