That averaging means a smaller authority with highly active companies can score above a larger one, making this a fair comparison between places of very different sizes.","The UK as a whole scores 1,000, so Mansfield's 938 sits 62 points below that benchmark across 4,843 active companies.

Mansfield scores 935 here, 65 points below the UK benchmark, ranking 308th of 361 authorities. Only around 14.7% of authorities score lower, pointing to limited patent activity, R&D grant uptake and representation in innovative and IS-8 sectors among its companies.","The Scaling pillar measures scaleup status, headcount growth and accelerator attendance. At 973, Mansfield is 27 points below the UK average and ranks 285th of 360, making this its strongest pillar. Around 20.8% of authorities score lower, suggesting that while headcount growth and scaleup activity lag the national level, the gap is narrower here than on any other pillar.","Investment covers equity raisers, the total value of equity raised and first-time raisers, all within the last five years. Mansfield scores 900, placing it 350th of 360 authorities and 100 points below the UK benchmark. Only 2.8% of authorities score lower, indicating that equity financing activity among Mansfield's companies is well below the national norm.","The ESG pillar draws on clean energy activity, other green activity, environmental accolades, social and governance signals, and not-for-profit proxy status. Mansfield scores 959 on this pillar, 41 points below the UK benchmark, ranking 315th of 361 authorities. Around 12.7% of authorities score lower, pointing to below-average representation of these characteristics among local companies.","The chart below shows how Mansfield's composite score compares with its Nottinghamshire neighbours, where the county scores 987 overall and Nottingham leads at 1,021.",[106,109,112,115,118,121],{"question":107,"answer":108},"What is Mansfield's score on the UK Local Growth Index?","Mansfield scores 938, placing it 332nd of 361 local authorities.
