What these figures tell you
The count is based on an instructor’s register postcode. It does not say where that instructor collects pupils, whether they are accepting work, how many paid hours they teach or how much they charge. Trainee licences and fully qualified ADIs are different categories.
A rise or fall is a change in register counts, not proof of stronger demand or a business opportunity. Ask local providers and prospective pupils about service needs, and plan for travel, cancellations and non-teaching time.
