What is the ethnic composition of the neighborhood in which you live?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

The ward I live in is over 95% white (won't give the exact figure). There's a chance that I might be moving to a ward with a Pakistani majority next year.

I dont know the exact figures, but for my borough here it is:

39.4% White
32.5% South Asian
21.6% Afro-Caribbean
3.7% Mixed race
2.8% Chinese

Do you know what ward you're in? If you do I can find the figures.

Make sure you wear your flak jacket...

Seeing as the ward is the one that covers most of Bradford City Centre, that's not exactly appropriate humour at the moment (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bradford/4452626.stm)

White: British: 57%
White: Other: 9%
Mixed: 4.2%
Asian: 3.8%
Black: 23.4%

(Those are for the borough of London which I live in)

That's Lewisham isn't it? Which ward?

Wow, proportions are very similar to the borough at large. Thanks Al! Where do you get all this stuff from?

www.statistics.gov.uk

Great site

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Cool, could you possibly explain the "deprivation section" of the statistics.

http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/AreaProfile1.do?tab=4

Those are the results for my area, I am not entirely sure what some of the numbers mean, haha.

Of the three indices they've got in the little box, the first means that Lewisham is the 57th most deprived local authority in England (see the little scale thingy just above that) when everything is taken into account and averaged, the second means that it's the 23rd most "income deprived" (this is the closest to the measure of poverty in the U.S, btw) LA, and the last one means that it's the 37th most deprived for employment.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Thanks. Hmmm, didn't realise Lewisham was so far down the scale in England.

It's largely because of Deptford IIRC
