2011 Census Maps (England and Wales)

[Serenity Now]

I've posted this as a placeholder, so that I can write a more substantial introduction to this thread.. For now here's some age group maps by Local Authorities in England and Wales..

First of all, the children:

To save time I'm going to computer generate these maps.. Now for some religion ones.

I'm concerned that this map may invite some of the less insightful comments on this thread (from people who otherwise wouldn't otherwise have commented on this thread at all, of course).

What follows is some analysis of the top 10 local authorties for unusual answers to the religion question:

‘Druid’
1   Mendip
2   North Dorset
3   Lewes
4   West Devon
5   West Lindsey
6   Wiltshire UA
7   Weymouth and Portland
8   Isle of Wight UA
9   Oadby and Wigston
10   North Somerset UA
   
These are districts I'd expect wizardy weirdos to live in.

‘Heathen’
1   Isles of Scilly UA
2   Rossendale
3   Monmouthshire
4   South Hams
5   Lancaster
6   Eastbourne
7   Ceredigion
8   Winchester
9   Swindon UA
10   Newark and Sherwood
   
‘Ditto' (I hate that term).

‘Pagan’
1   Mendip
2   Ceredigion
3   Weymouth and Portland
4   Cornwall UA
5   Hastings
6   Isle of Wight UA
7   Forest of Dean
8   Torridge
9   West Devon
10   Brighton and Hove UA

‘Ditto’ again (I hate myself).

‘Own Belief System’
1   Isles of Scilly UA
2   Ceredigion
3   City of London
4   Adur
5   Norwich
6   Brighton and Hove UA
7   South Hams
8   Merthyr Tydfil
9   Hastings
10   Cambridge
   
This one seems to be a mixture of smug urbanites and desperately isolated people

‘Satanism’
1   Bolsover
2   Exeter
3   Fylde
4   North Dorset
5   Pendle
6   Sedgemoor
7   Bournemouth UA
8   Hastings
9   Torfaen
10   West Somerset
   
I have no idea why Bolsover is number one.

‘Scientology’
1   Mid Sussex
2   Wealden
3   Rother
4   Tandridge
5   Poole UA
6   Crawley
7   Hammersmith and Fulham
8   City of London
9   Brighton and Hove UA
10   Plymouth UA
   
Seriously, as someone who lives in Sussex, I'm surrounded by pr**ks..

‘Wicca’
1   Gosport
2   Lincoln
3   Thanet
4   Worthing
5   Ceredigion
6   North Warwickshire
7   Rushmoor
8   North Dorset
9   Forest Heath
10   Fenland
   
I'm guessing Goth kids living in generally boring areas..

‘Witchcraft’
1   Mendip
2   Ceredigion
3   Lewes
4   North Norfolk
5   North Lincolnshire UA
6   Boston
7   Taunton Deane
8   South Holland
9   Suffolk Coastal
10   Uttlesford

See the other witchy/wizardly religions..   

'Free thinker'
1   Waveney
2   Windsor and Maidenhead UA
3   North West Leicestershire
4   North Devon
5   Eastbourne
6   Bolton
7   Fylde
8   Horsham
9   Darlington UA
10   Runnymede
   
I was expecting more bourgeois-bohemian areas but I was wrong. The fact that I was wrong suggests that these people truly are free thinkers, with minds completely uninhibited by superstitions and biases inflicted upon them by the opinions of any other person anywhere on earth.

‘Heavy Metal’
1   Norwich
2   Tameside
3   Bolton
4   Brighton and Hove UA
5   North West Leicestershire
6   Salford
7   Trafford
8   Manchester
9   Copeland
10   Oadby and Wigston
   
I'm guessing the people in the southern districts who described themselves as 'Heavy Metal' were joking and those in the northern ones around Greater Manchester are genuinely terrifying/cool.  Well probably not, they're probably students as well.

‘Humanist’
1   South Hams
2   West Devon
3   Cambridge
4   Lewes
5   Brighton and Hove UA
6   West Dorset
7   Stroud
8   Oxford
9   West Somerset
10   Torridge
   
'What do you believe in?'
'I believe in humans.'
'Wow, you're so amazing.'

‘Jedi Knight’
1   Brighton and Hove UA
2   Isles of Scilly UA
3   Norwich
4   Adur
5   Southampton UA
6   Portsmouth UA
7   Bournemouth UA
8   Hastings
9   Isle of Wight UA
10   Bristol, City of UA
   
OMG I living in Brighton it's got such an unique/alternative/individual(istic) vibe!  Although seriously, I did love the Star Wars films when I was a child.  This was because I was a child..  I was a child..

‘Realist’
1   St Albans
2   Worcester
3   Reading UA
4   Taunton Deane
5   Brighton and Hove UA
6   Tendring
7   Blaenau Gwent
8   Mid Sussex
9   Derbyshire Dales
10   Mendip
   
St Albans is SO realist.  You get a really realistic perspective of the universe and all life within it from St Albans.  If you want a realistic answer to all the great questions, look no further than St Albans.  St Albans elected a Lib Dem council for a while, but now it has a Conservative one. It was the was the realistic thing to do.

That one doesn't fit in with the others.

Didn't notice that once - yes, doesn't really fit in..

This map shows the percentage point change in the proportion of people categorised as Higher Managerial and Professional Occupations, Lower Managerial and Professional Occupations and Intermediate Occupations. The middle classes (in the British sense of the word) basically. Dark blue reflects an increase of over 14%, light blue an increase of over 9%, yellow an increase of over 5% and only red reflects a decrease.

The map on the right is quite telling.

On the degree map or the no qualifications map?

What is going on on the south-western cost?

Do you mean the areas where % with a degree has gone up a lot?  Rural gentrification, basically.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

No, it's Great Yarmouth. Although, bear in mind, the % with a degree isn't going down there (or anywhere on that map), its just that is comparatively increased by much less compared to other places.

Great maps Afleitch and YL!

I've worked out I can make super-detailed maps (at Lower Super Output Area) of anywhere in England and Wales

Any requests?  I'm afraid I probably can't do all of England and Wales as one map as it would be bloody massive..  I can definitely do whole cities and counties, and probably regions.

Religion maps for Yorkshire.  The Muslim one is likely to have the most striking patterns, but some of the others might too.

Degree-level qualifications for various areas (up to you really...)

Jedi in Sussex

I've added a map showing the concentration of the degrees at lower level to the degree map I originally posted.  Bigger version here: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view&id=8411
