Nuneaton & Bedworth Council Tax 2026

How to read this stock pattern

Band D is a poor description of the largest group in Nuneaton & Bedworth's housing stock. The dominant group is Band A, where the statutory charge is two-thirds of the Band D rate, while the reference band describes a different part of the valuation list. The £2,079.56 stock-weighted figure is therefore the more representative area-level comparison. It does not predict an individual bill, because discounts, exemptions and the property's actual valuation band still determine liability.

This is a two-band centre rather than a single-band market. Bands A and C together contain 57.9% of dwellings, so neither band should be presented as a complete account of the area. The stock-weighted result combines both groups and the smaller tails into one comparable measure. The table shows where that mean comes from and prevents the distribution being flattened into an overconfident "typical property" claim.

Nuneaton & Bedworth occupies the middle half of the West Midlands stock-weighted distribution, below its £2,132.00 median. The regional result gives more context than a UK-wide rank without turning the difference into a superlative. It also shows that the council's band mix, not only its published Band D rate, determines where it sits among nearby authorities. The remaining distance from the median is an area-level comparison rather than a household saving or premium.

Closest housing-stock shape: South Holland

South Holland is the closest full-distribution match for Nuneaton & Bedworth. The profiles are close rather than identical: 3.4% of dwellings would need to shift between valuation bands for their published shares to align. The comparison therefore tests the whole ladder, not just the largest band.

Four largest band differences

• The largest separation sits at lower Band A, where South Holland holds 37.4% of its stock and Nuneaton & Bedworth holds 34.0%. The peer is more bottom-weighted at this rung of the valuation list.
• Another material separation falls on the reference band itself. Band D contains 12.9% of Nuneaton & Bedworth's stock but 10.7% of South Holland's, so the national headline describes more of the local distribution here.
• A smaller distinction appears in the upper part of the ladder at Band F. Nuneaton & Bedworth places 1.4% of dwellings there versus 1.0% for South Holland, giving this profile the heavier upper-band tail at that point.
• A smaller distinction appears in the upper part of the ladder at Band E. Nuneaton & Bedworth places 5.2% of dwellings there versus 4.8% for South Holland, giving this profile the heavier upper-band tail at that point.
