Surrey sits at City Score rank #56 with a standing of 57%, from 7 of 8 open-data pillars (tax, construction, connectivity, indoor air, water, seismic hazard, growth, safety). Missing pillars score at median standing so thin coverage cannot inflate the rank. Dropping 18 places versus 2022 (#38 → #56).
Latest owned placements: building permit value rank #14 of 25 (2025); indoor radon rank #325 of 327 at 35 Bq/m³ survey mean. Full tables and method notes live on each study edition; atlas readings for the same slug open from the topic buttons.
