New U.K Demographic Maps Thread

[Serenity Now]

The owned outright I assume generally older people (and by ward location more Conservative).

Basically. Richer too (although that goes without saying really). The partial exception in East Ham is interesting though not too surprising.

Don't forget Southall!

This thread was a brilliant idea

Is a % French or Francophone map doable?

No; Irish was an option on the ethnicity question, French wasn't. The number of Irish was greatly underestimated, btw, though probably less so in London than elsewhere.

I should be able to do % born-in-France though (but at borough, not ward, level)

Did you ever get round to the born in the USA map? Where could I find that data anyway?

I happen to know that Kensington and Chelsea has the highest French-born and US-born population, presumably because of their embassies being situated around that area.

This is nice and detailed!

I recall earlier in this thread you said "Much more fun will be had with NS-Sec later."

Well?? I'm waaattiiiiinnggg!!

That map is amazing - well done!

Which is the local authority with a 0-10% binge drinking rate? I notice it also has a very low (10-15%) incidence of smoking?

That's Harrow, which is relatively affluent is about 1/4 south Asian (of which most are of Indian origin and/or are Hindus).

Edit: Come to think of it, Harrow problably has the highest percentage of doctors of any local authority. (Actually, I think there might be something in the census that could prove/disprove this).

2nd Edit: I checked the figures for % of 'Health Professionals' and Harrow is higher than average (1.5%) but is beaten by other London boroughs like Camden and Barnet (both over 2%). Talking out my arse!

Oh, and I think extreme west of Suffolk is probably due to all the Americans there.

Yes I noticed that, but you'd think American service personnel would be less obese than average!

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.

Oh, you just wait until I get some SOA level maps of the binge drinking one up. Hilarious.

Include Brighton & Hove (or give me the link to the data)!

Brighton and Hove. I don't know the place very well, so maybe someone else could comment. Cough.

There's nothing I'd like to do more.. (Thanks for doing these!)

Smoking:
Highest in poor and/or working class estates such as Whitehawk, Moulsecoomb and Bevendean. Lowest in mature well-off suburbs around Hove Park, Withdean and Rottingdean. Age is also a factor, with the orange-ish areas in the city centre tending to be generally middle class areas containing lots of students (Lewes Road area) and youngish flat sharers (Western Road area). The SOA I live (coving Queen’s Park and Tarner) in is the orange one slightly to the east of the centre near the seafront, which has a significant presence of both these demographics.

Binge drinking:
Not much of a class correlation, but a strong age correlation if anything. Highest in areas with lots of young adults and students living in them (not much of a surprise).

Obesity:
Highest both in poorer areas where people presumably don’t get about very much (some of these areas actually have rather low car ownership). Lowest in areas with lots of young(ish) people whose binge drinking hasn’t caught up with them yet..

Fruit and veg:
High both in the youngish, bohemian areas around the centre, the mature affluent suburbs, and where they overlap (e.g. the area around Preston Park station).  Lowest in the more deprived estates. Amusingly enough, this is basically what an electoral map of Brighton and Hove would look like if you added the Green vote to the Tory vote..

Just in case anybody cares, here’s a key that should give an idea of what the areas are:

As a follow-up to Al's earnings map. Please note, again, that this only includes those in employment.

I'm assuming students are excluded from the figures, looking at Hallam, Oxford, Riverside and such places. Right?

Oh yes I should think so, definitely those who aren't in employment - which I believe is most of them. If I recall correctly, students at Oxford and Cambridge aren't allowed to work at all.
