# Press notes - Family Liveability Index v1.1 (2026-03-19)

## What to use first
1. Open family-liveability-index-v1.1-top200-2026-03-19-press.csv.
2. Sort by rank (1 = best headline-eligible neighbourhood).
3. Filter by region or local_authority for local angles.

## Key rules
- Headline tables exclude areas where Safety or Schools is missing, even if a reweighted overall score exists in the full export.
- Safety scores depend on Police UK coverage. Current source gaps affect some Greater Manchester wards.

## Suggested copy
Neighbourhood Finder analysed neighbourhoods across England and Wales using its published Family Liveability Index v1.1 methodology. The headline Top 200 shortlist includes only areas meeting strict comparability rules, including the presence of both Safety and Schools scores.
