3ELECTORAL DIVISION PROFILES: AN INTRODUCTION
These profiles have been produced to support elected members, constituents and other
interested parties in understanding the demographic, economic, social and educational
profile of their neighbourhoods. We have used the latest data available at the time of
publication.
Much more data is available from national and local sources than is captured here, but it is
hoped that the profile will be a useful starting point for discussion, where local knowledge and
experience can be used to flesh out and illuminate the information presented here.
The profile can be used to help look at some fundamental questions e.g.
• Does the age profile of the population match or differ from the national profile?
• Is there evidence of the ageing profile of the county in all the wards in the Division or just
some?
• How diverse is the community in terms of ethnicity?
• What is the impact of deprivation on families and residents?
• Does there seem to be a link between deprivation and school performance?
• What is the breakdown of employment sectors in the area?
• Is it a relatively healthy area compared to the rest of the district or county?
• What sort of crime is prevalent in the community?
A vast amount of additional data is available on the Suffolk Observatory
www.suffolkobservatory.info
The Suffolk Observatory is a free online resource that contains all Suffolk’s vital statistics; it is
the one-stop-shop for information and intelligence about Suffolk. Through data, reports and
maps, the Suffolk Observatory provides a comprehensive picture of the County. It is a great
source for useful facts and figures that can be used for writing reports and presentations,
informing strategic and business planning, preparing funding applications or supporting
academic research. Data is presented around the key themes of population, children and
young people, health and social care, housing, crime and community safety, deprivation,
economy and employment and environment. All areas of the county are covered, right down
to district, electoral division, ward and parish level, with information easily accessible in a
variety of formats. You can also build your own reports for custom areas.
Technical Notes:
1. Where electoral divisions do not exactly match the boundaries at which the data is
available (e.g. ward, Output Area or Lower Super Output Area), we have adopted a
“best-fit” approach to produce a dataset.
2. District, county and national level data is provided where possible to provide a context
for comparisons. Where possible we have used the most recent district boundaries for
comparison purposes, but in some cases it has been necessary to use the pre-2019
districts.

13INDEX OF MULTIPLE DEPRIVATION (IMD) 2019 (SEE MAP
OVERLEAF)
The IMD combines a number of indicators, chosen to cover a range of economic, social and
housing issues, into a single deprivation score for each small area in England. This allows
each area to be ranked relative to one another according to their level of deprivation. Small
areas (Lower Super Output Areas, average population 1,700) are most commonly described
as being in 1 of 5 quintile bands. The bottom quintile represents the 20% of areas that are
the most deprived in England; these are shaded pale yellow on the map. The top quintile
represents the least deprived areas in England and is shaded dark blue.
The Index is widely used to analyse patterns of deprivation, identify areas that would benefit
from special initiatives or programmes and as a tool to determine eligibility for specific
funding streams.

England (home to over 80% of the population of Clare as shown in the chart above), while
one is in the next least deprived quintile.

The local data used here is based on relatively small numbers. The confidence limits provide
an indication of the reliability of the data. The 95% confidence intervals utilised on the chart

and national averages.

in Clare.
▪ It should be noted that the confidence intervals around these data are particularly wide
due to the small number of deaths at the local level.
