What this number is
A council above the legal limit owes more than the law allows it to owe. In 2024 the number of councils above the limit was 10 out of 308, and the number with no published value was 1.
Debt as a percentage of the average net current revenue that the municipality collected in the previous three years; the law allows one and a half times that average.
