What are the percentages in Shropshire and Hereford, and what are the lowest percentages in the Valleys?

[minionofmidas]

What are the percentages in Shropshire and Hereford,

About 6% in each.

Merthyr and Blaenau Gwent are both 6%

Follow-up question: Are the Merthyr and Blaenau Gwent figures slightly above or slightly below the Shropshire and Hereford figures?

Slightly below.

Good. Would have been a shame otherwise.

The Sikh, Hindu, Buddhist, and Other maps are all fairly similar.

The Sikh, Hindu, Buddhist, and Other maps are all fairly similar.

Actually, I think the Buddhist map is really funny.

Eh. There's that second outcrop in a heavily Jewish and Agnostic area, but funny?

Oh well. Maybe if I knew Birmingham.

That area is Edgbaston.

Makes a certain amount of sense. What's the high Sikh/Hindu area?

[minionofmidas]

What's up with that stronghold of Private Renting?

[minionofmidas]

BVT?

Yeah, I guessed it might have summat to do with a uni.

[minionofmidas]

Doesn't Birmingham have a huge Kashmiri population? I guess they identify as "Pakistani"?

[minionofmidas]

Is there a big Gujarati population there?

Yes. Leicester is unique in that its Muslim population is largely Indian rather than Pakistani or Bangladeshi.

By self-definition, anyways. But that's accepting the Vale of Kashmir as part of Pakistan. I wonder if the Indian government has ever protested against that.

Map shows estimated income (adjusted for household composition, housing costs and so on) and be model-based experimental statistics.

Anyway, I did Shropshire first because I was born there.

(Adjusted) income per person and week, or what? Also, adjusted for what exactly? (I understand it's still in an experimental state, but what does it want to show exactly when it's all grown up?)

[minionofmidas]

Average housing-cost-adjusted post-tax income of a national-average-sized household in the area?

[minionofmidas]

While the richest one is the more suburban part of Caernarffon?

Somehow suggestive despite the lack of variation.

[minionofmidas]

That Binge Drinking map can't be right. One might as well draw a line in the middle of England.

Yeess... that one does look a little dodgy. They must have used regional figures a lot in the model.

It does make a certain amount of sense to have that one the least directly income correlated of these maps.

[minionofmidas]

City centre  in yellow, third from east along the river? Or just to the west of that?

[minionofmidas]

Own outright versus Mortgaged is interesting.

[minionofmidas]

What's with that south-central ward that's in the lowest bracket on each and every one of these? Student Ghetto? Or just an error?

[minionofmidas]

Hexham includes a couple of exurban Newcastle areas. Maybe they got oversampled.
Copeland has already been mentioned in the op. The suburban seats in the northern metros are the predictable posh suburban seats, and roughly correspond to the areas Labour didn't hold there between 1997 and 2009.

The Aberdeenshire countryside is interesting.

This needs to be accompanied by separate (for readability) ward maps of Mona, Gwynedd with the Conwy Valley, "Dyfed" and West Glamorgan. And possibly Clwyd too.
