What were people we spoke to doing in the area?
What were people we spoke to doing in the area?
Almost a third of those we spoke to lived in the area, with a further third working or volunteering in the community. One in six were visiting for recreation or shopping with one in eight working in a business in the area.
Whilst this make-up skews the data away from focusing on residents who live in the area, it is perhaps a realistic sample of stakeholders in Mancroft which is heavily influenced by people coming in to what is the central business district of the city.
How long have people we spoke to lived in the area?
How long have people we spoke to lived in the area?
One in nine were recent arrivals to the area having arrived in the last twelve months, and just over a third had lived there most or all of their life. The majority - just over 50% had lived in the area a few years.
The fact many had lived there a few years suggests that it is a good place to live although the changes in city centres over the years perhaps play a part in a comparatively lower percentage who have lived there most or all of their life.
How old were people we spoke to?
How old were people we spoke to?
The range of people we have spoken to is not indicative of the ward 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?
What gender were people we spoke to?
As with many other areas, we are speaking to almost 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.
What don't we know?
What don't we know?
There is a lot about the people we have conversations with that we don't know. Some of this information they may disclose in conversations (such as if they have a disability), but it is not something we collect and record after conversations. It would be too intrusive and destructive for the approach to collect this data as standard, but it needs to be considered whether it would be useful for us to record any information which is disclosed after the conversation - disability, ethnicity, language, employment status, whether they have children may all provide some insight. Given it would not be possible to be consistent or possibly accurate with this approach we are not recording this information.
