Ward and Settlement Profiles
- Numbers of people living in each town, city or country area.
- The balance of younger and older people on those areas.
- What jobs people do.
- The type of housing they live in.
There are many thousands of statistics available for each geographical area in the Country which can be accessed through the Office of National Statistics website.
However, members of the public have frequently asked the Council for similar types of information from the Census. With this in mind, we have developed information to give profiles for various geographies in the County for the most commonly requested topics and their associated 150 plus 2001 Census indicators. The information is presented at various geographical levels in the County: from the County as a whole to Districts, Wards, Parishes, Electoral Divisions and for settlements.
The data is given as both counts, and as rates of the associated ‘population denominators’. For example, for employment, both the numbers employed and the percentage that number forms of the working age population, (16 to 59 for females and 16 to 64 for males), are given.
