Lunedale is small: its tax base is 46 Band D-equivalent homes, so a modest change in the precept moves the charge per home a lot. It is left out of the parish rankings.

About 24,500 homes in the City of Durham pay both a parish precept and the Charter Trustees for the City of Durham; the parish figures here do not add the charter trustees' charge to those homes.
