With a score of 1,028, the district is 28 points above the UK benchmark and ranks 132nd of 361, suggesting its companies show relatively stronger engagement with environmental and social indicators than the national average.","The chart below places Hinckley and Bosworth's composite score alongside its Leicestershire neighbours, including the county runner-up North West Leicestershire, which scores 1,038.",[109,112,115,118,121,124],{"question":110,"answer":111},"What is Hinckley and Bosworth's score on the UK Local Growth Index?","Hinckley and Bosworth scores 991, placing it 125th of 361 local authorities and 9 points below the UK benchmark of 1,000.",{"question":113,"answer":114},"How does Hinckley and Bosworth compare to the rest of Leicestershire?","It ranks 3rd of 8 authorities in Leicestershire, scoring 22 points above the county average of 969.",{"question":116,"answer":117},"Which pillar is strongest for Hinckley and Bosworth?","Innovation is the strongest pillar, with a score of 1,003, ranking 101st of 361 authorities and sitting 3 points above the UK benchmark.",{"question":119,"answer":120},"Where does Hinckley and Bosworth rank in the East Midlands?","It ranks 9th of 35 authorities in the East Midlands, scoring 19 points above the regional average of 972.",{"question":122,"answer":123},"What does the UK Local Growth Index actually measure?","It measures the characteristics of a local authority's business economy, including innovation, scaling, investment and ESG activity, averaged across active companies with corporate groups counted once.
