Each measure is averaged across the area's companies, so a score reflects how active the typical local company is rather than how large the local economy is.","Every score is set against a fixed UK benchmark of 1,000, the score of the UK as a whole, so Bassetlaw's 975 puts it 25 points below the UK.
