Methodology:

The data around access to gardens and public green spaces in Great Britain was taken from the Office for National Statistics.
To find out the population of each area in both top five lists, we used data from the 2021 Census report which is the most recent publication on the population of each place in the UK.
We then downloaded the recent ‘Access to garden space, Great Britain’ dataset and pulled out the data for districts and areas in Lincolnshire.
From this we then pulled out the ‘private outdoor space total area (m²)’ section in the ‘Housing’ tab to find the places with the highest and lowest amount of home green space. This sorted the list from highest to lowest to create the rankings.
