What were people we spoke to doing in the area?

The data shows that the most common reason for being in the area is to live there, followed by working or volunteering in the community. The number of people who work in a business in the area is relatively small, compared to the number of people who live there or work or volunteer in the community. The number of people who visit the area for recreation or shopping is more than the number of people who visit to see friends or family. There are a small number of people who did not mention why they were in the area. However, this is an overall summation of all area's and as can be seen below, what people are doing in the area that we spoke to, varies across all communities.

How long have people we spoke to lived in the area?

One in eleven were recent arrivals to the area having arrived in the last twelve months, with a relatively even split between living in the area for a few years and living in the area most of all of their life.

When looking at the individual communities themselves it would suggest the larger the 'most or all of their life' section and the smaller 'moved here in the last year or so' leads to a correlation on the appeal of living in the area with the reverse correlation also applying.

How old were people we spoke to?

The range of people we have spoken to is not indicative of the wards as a whole.  We need to speak to comparatively fewer middle aged and older adults, find a way to engage with young adults and establish a route to talk to under 18s with consent.

When considering this data we should take into account the difference between how different ages view things.

What gender were people we spoke to?

Overall, we are speaking to around twice as many women as men. This does present a skew, but the comparisons between gender suggest that there is little difference between gender viewpoints.

It would still be better to speak to more men and work needs to be done to try and achieve this.

Note: 'Non-Binary' was added as an input option for after the conversations finished in Heathgate, Lakenham and West Pottergate & Russell Street hence why they only have 'Male' and 'Female' showing for their data set and is a factors as to why the numbers may be lower for the 'Non-Binary' section.
