How we compare to other councils

Benchmarking indicators

Each of Scotland's councils measure their performance against a set of benchmarking indicators. Each year we complete an analysis of how Highland Council is performing compared to all the other councils in Scotland.

Councils can then work together to find out why performance differs and learn how they can improve.
