The leaf rating is a view of the long-term, taking into account general trends and local incidents that may have finished or could just be starting.

For example, if a road is closed, the impact will be felt immediately and our scale and rating will reflect that. It’s a more stable view of your surroundings to make the bigger decisions in life.

If you’re moving house or choosing a school for your child, one location, or regular commute, maybe better than another.
