2011 Census Maps (England and Wales)

[MaxQue]

I suppose the white areas are meaning "normal".
That is Christian or Anglican?

Ha Yes, the white areas are Christian and not broken down by denomination. There isn't really any clear blue water between Christianity and other faiths or lack of in most wards. In parts of inner London it's a 4 or 5 horse race

I'll gradually do some Sheffield ward maps (perhaps other cities if other people don't do them first).

Starting with housing tenure (NB using the "persons" figures, not the households ones):

Total "owned".



Total "social rented".  Fairly predictable patterns here (big inter-war council estates in the wards with the highest figures, lowest figures in the south-west).



Total "private rented".  Spot the students.

[YL]

Here are education levels in Sheffield.  These are percentages of over-16s.  None of the patterns are very surprising though they're quite striking.

First, no qualifications.


Next, "Level 3" qualifications (but not higher).  This basically means university entrance level, which of course means what students tend to have.



Finally, degree level.

[Serenity Now]

Highest level of qualification: Level 4 qualifications and above

Left: Highest level of qualification: % with Level 4 qualifications and above
Right: Percentage point change since 2001.

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.

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!

[Serenity Now]

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

This is a simple map of which answer to the religious question came out top in London. Few points of note. The dark grey represents ‘None’ and the light grey area represents those who picked ‘none’ and also those who ‘did not answer.’ The two responses are very closely correlated, if there are high responses to ‘none’ there are similarly high responses to ‘d.n.a.’ The mixed colour wards have Muslim as the largest single response but ‘None/dna’ as the largest collective response.

Ooh. Very nice. I notice that in the 2006 elections, a lot of those Hindu areas actually voted for the LD. One even voted Conservative, which I thought was surprising, though the conservatives did very well that year.

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

Excellent work.

Bit of fun this;

Scotland's population change between 1951-1961 showing the start of population change. Movement outside of the cities, East Kilbride de-population in Aberdeenshire.

Same for Wales

[Filuwaúrdjan]

The huge increase in Deudraeth RD (just south of Ffestiniog) is because of Trawsfynydd. Note that poor Ffestiniog itself still lost people, despite all the civil engineering projects in the area.

Are you sure Llangefni's right? Though it grew a lot in the 50s.

You're right. I coloured it the bottom not the top colour. Fixed.

For those that don't know Wales that well, the fast growing district north of Newport is Cwmbran.

You're right. I coloured it the bottom not the top colour. Fixed.

Basically it's the movement of the rural poor into market towns. Lots of new estates were built; I think the town was majority council housing for a while (actually have the figures written down somewhere, but not here).

What was going on around Brecon?

[afleitch]

I was trying to get a sense of changes in the 1960’s too. What I’ve been able to do is look at the 2nd Review electorate figures which have figures for 1965-1968 (1969 is when the electorate expanded to include 18-20 year olds). This is quite a good indicator of population movement which even in a four year period was in some parts of Scotland and Wales, very dramatic. In these maps I’ve subdivided any borough which is divided into more than one seat, so Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Swansea and Rhondda. In the case of Cardiff and Edinburgh a seat crossed out of the borough boundaries. What I’ve done is calculated the ‘rump’ seat inside the city. Wales up first this time.
