Major Centre Area Profiles

In addition to the work carried out to produce statistical profiles of the 250+ settlements in County Durham and following numerous requests from local and national businesses, we have produced profiles for the 12 major centres in the County and surrounding areas at a radius of 3 miles, 5 miles and 10 miles. These profiles contain the most commonly requested topics and their associated 2001 Census indicators. 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.

Further work has also been carried out to produce a full colour profile for each of the 12 major centres. Each profile primarily consists of data taken from the 2001 Census but there is also a section based on figures taken from the 2004 Index of Deprivation (ID2004). As the ID2004 was released at the Super Output Area (SOA) level, this has enabled deprivation measures to be built for the larger areas such as the Major Centres and their catchment areas.
