Tandridge scores 966 on the UK Local Growth Index, placing it 235th of 361 local authorities and 34 points below the UK benchmark. Its composite score sits 36 points below the Surrey average and 37 points below the South East average. ESG is its strongest pillar, edging just above the UK benchmark, while Investment is the clearest drag on the overall score.
Tandridge's composite score is built from four pillars: Innovation, Scaling, Investment and ESG, weighted at 30%, 30%, 30% and 10% respectively.
Each score is averaged across the area's active companies, with corporate groups counted once. That approach means a smaller authority with highly active companies can score above a much larger one, making this a fair comparison between authorities of different sizes.
The UK benchmark is set at 1,000, so Tandridge's score of 966 places it below that reference point across 7,192 active companies. Every score is published alongside a likely range showing how much it could move with a slightly different mix of companies; a score is only published when that range is narrow enough to rely on, and Tandridge's composite range of 952 to 980 meets that bar.
