Castle Ashby is small: its tax base is 67 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.

West Northamptonshire also charges special expenses in part of its area (£815,178 in all, £5.52 per Band D home on average across the council). The parish and no-parish figures here leave them out, because the statistics do not say which areas pay them, so where they apply the bill is higher. The council's own bill shows them.
