5 Statistical Profile for: Background Situated in the north east of the country, stretches from Peterlee and Seaham in the east, to Harwood and Killhope in the west and Burnopfield in the north to Barningham in the south. The county is bordered by Sunderland, Gateshead, Northumberland, Cumbria, North Yorkshire, Darlington, Stockton-on- Tees and Hartlepool. Throughout history, has been strategically important to settlers ranging from the Romans to the Angles, Saxons and Normans. Northumbria became the leading centre of the Christian church in Britain with the foundation of Durham Cathedral in 1093 acting as a lasting reminder of the County s legacy to Christian worship in Britain. Following the Norman Conquests, William the Conqueror invested the Bishops of Durham with combined secular and spiritual powers to control the modern counties of Cleveland, Durham and Tyne and Wear. The Prince Bishops levied taxes, raised armies, minted money, controlled the courts and were effectively kings of England until their powers were dramatically diminished by Henry VIII in In the 18th and 19th centuries, became a world leader in the Industrial Revolution, with the county s development based upon coal and iron production. The area s influence on the world was demonstrated by the development of the world s first passenger steam railway at Stockton and Darlington in Notes The indicators are grouped into 5 themes plus an introductory population section and a section on the Index of Deprivation, presented on separate worksheets which can be printed off as hand-outs. The 5 themes are: Index of Deprivation People and Place Wealthier: Focusing on creating a vibrant economy and putting regeneration and economic development at the heart of all our plans Children & YP: Enabling children and young people to develop and achieve their aspirations and to maximise their potential in line with Every Child Matters Healthier: Improving health and wellbeing Safer: Creating a safer and more cohesive county Greener: Ensuring an attractive and 'liveable' local environment, and contributing to tackling global environment challenges (9 pages) (10 Pages) (22 Pages) (5 Pages) (8 Pages) (3 Pages) (3 Pages) Useful Links: : Integrated Needs Assessment Office for National Statistics: Neighbourhood Statistics: NOMISWEB: Web: 2 of 64 /article/8461/integrated-needs- Assessment

The increasing availability of administrative data at local levels has driven developments in the definition and measurement of deprivation. This release contains the latest version of these statistics, mainly from the period 2012/13 and form the English Indices of Deprivation It is important to note that these statistics are a measure of relative deprivation, not affluence, and to recognise that not every person in a highly deprived area will themselves be deprived. Equally, there will be some deprived people living in the least deprived areas. Deprivation covers a broad range of issues and refers to unmet needs caused by a lack of resources of all kinds, not just financial. The English Indices of Deprivation attempt to measure a broader concept of multiple deprivation, made up of several distinct dimensions, or domains, of deprivation. The vast majority of data that underpin the 2015 indices reflect the period 2012/13 while the 2010 indices reflect data from Communities and Local Government undertook a review of statistical outputs before deciding to release the ID Web: 5 of 64

9 Domains and Geography Statistical Profile Summary Sheets for: Deprivation The English Indices of Deprivation 2015 (ID2015) use 37 separate indicators (the 2010 Indices used 38), organised across seven distinct domains of deprivation which can be combined, using appropriate weights, to calculate an index of multiple deprivation. This is an overall measure of multiple deprivation experienced by people living in an area and is calculated for every Lower layer Super Output Area (LSOA) in England (32,844 LSOAs). The ID2015 can be used to rank every LSOA in England according to their relative level of deprivation. The seven distinct domains that have been identified in the English Indices of Deprivation are; Income Deprivation, Employment Deprivation, Health and Disability Deprivation, Education Skills and Training Deprivation, Barriers to Housing and Services, Living Environment Deprivation and Crime. Two additional indices are also included in the ID2015 release, although they are not included in the overall index. These indices are the Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) and the Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index (IDAOPI) 2015 at Lower layer Super Output Area (LSOA) level. Deprivation Geography The ID2015, (along with the previous ID2010, ID2007 and ID2004), was constructed using the Census Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) geography, (there were 32,884 LSOAs in England in 2011, the previous ID's used the 2001 definition of 32,482 LSOAs). Within there are 324 LSOAs (Previously there were 320 LSOAs). This means that it is not possible to provide national deprivation ranks for sub-county geographies. Instead figures are estimated across the areas by measuring the percentage of the county's population living in deprived LSOAs within the specified area using a process of aggregation and estimation based upon LSOA populations. In addition these areas can be ranked within the county boundary. For example there are five Partnership areas in. These are ranked 1 to 5 with 1 having the largest population living in deprived areas and 5 having the least. Web: 6 of 64

10 Index of Deprivation Main Points - Statistical Profile Summary Sheets for: Deprivation is now the 75th most deprived area out of 326 single and lower tier local authorities in England (based on the rank of average score). This is 13 places lower (improved) than in the previous IMD released in 2010 when the county was ranked as the 62nd most deprived LA in England. Within the region remains the most deprived local authority in terms of both income and employment deprivation compared with the other 11 authorities in the region (Table 1 below). Nationally the majority (83 per cent) of neighbourhoods that are the most deprived according to the 2015 Index of Multiple Deprivation were also the most deprived according to the 2010 Index. 61 per cent of local authority districts contain at least one of the most deprived neighbourhoods in England. Middlesbrough, Knowsley, Kingston upon Hull, Liverpool and Manchester are the local authorities with the highest proportions of neighbourhoods among the most deprived in England. The 20 most deprived local authorities are largely the same as found for the 2010 Index, but the London Boroughs of Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Newham and Haringey have become relatively less deprived and no longer feature in this list. The underlying data from the ID2015 indicates that in 2012/ % of the county s population lived in the top 30% most deprived areas. Within the sub-domains: 46.1% of the county s population were experiencing income deprivation, (an increase in relative income deprivation from 42.4% in the ID2010), 60.8% of the working age population (aged 18-59/64 old definition) were experiencing some form of employment deprivation, (an improvement from 64.9% in the ID2010), 67.5% of the population were experiencing health deprivation, (an improvement from 70.8% in the ID2010), 37.7% of the population were experiencing education deprivation, (an improvement from 46.8% in the ID2010); all higher than the 30% average across England.

Main Points - As can be seen from the table above, all local authorities have experienced slight changes in their rankings. is the only one that has seen its ranking for the income measure decline since 2007 and has seen the smallest improvement in the employment measure. As these metrics reflect the number of people who are income and employment deprived, (and not the proportion) County Durham remains the most deprived local authority in the north east in terms of the income and employment summary measures. By dividing the LSOAs national rankings into 10 equal intervals it is possible to give an indication of the distribution of deprived population in.

21 Statistical Profile Summary Sheets for: People and Place Dependency Ratios The dependency ratio compares how many people there are in the area who are assumed to be working (that is people aged 16-64) against both the number of children aged 0-15 and those of retirement age (65+). A high dependency ratio implies that an area is suffering from the effects of its age structure, with children and the elderly unable to contribute to service provision in the ways that those of working age do, potentially putting pressure on local services such as schooling, health, and social care. Overall ratio had a higher overall dependency ratio of 586 in 2015 when compared to England & Wales. This indicates that the county had a lower number of people of working age compared to the number of children and retired people in the county than there were across England & Wales.

APS Unemployment (January 2016 to December 2016) Unemployment is measured according to international guidelines specified by the International Labour Organisation (ILO). Unemployed people in the UK are: without a job, have actively sought work in the last four weeks and are available to start work in the next two weeks or, out of work, have found a job and are waiting to start it in the next two weeks. The current APS unemployment rate for was estimated at 6.7% (16,400 people aged 16 to 64), lower than the (6.8%/84,300 people), and higher than England & Wales (4.9%/1,403,400 people).

47 Sub-county Statistical Profile Wealthier Average Weekly Income and Median House Prices Estimated average weekly income and median house prices for small areas: 2007_08 and 2011_12 Note: These data contain statistics of model-based small area income estimates for 2011/12, following the previous estimates of income for 2007/8. The small area income estimates are available for middle layer super output Areas (MSOAs) in England and Wales. Estimates by geography are produced using a 'best fit' approach with the MSOA boundaries. In the case of the AAPs some MSOAs may cover more than one AAP and therefore be included in those areas estimates. Estimates of average income are produced for 2011/12 and 2007/08, on MSOAs for the following four income types: Total household weekly income. Net household weekly income. Net household weekly income before housing costs. Net household weekly income after housing costs. Net weekly income ( ) Housing Affordability. Median house price. House price to income ratio. For further information on this dataset and explanations on the above indicators: Estimated average weekly income and median house prices for small areas: 2007_08 and 2011_12 In 2011_12 the average total weekly household income in was 589, 6% ( 35) higher than the average of 554 in 2007_08. Net weekly income also increased over this period by 1% (by 5 to 456). This suggests that while total weekly income has increased the cost of living in the area has either remained the same or fallen over this period.
