These are some of the things that the Census has revealed:

• At the time of the Census there were 1,900 living in our Parish, over 60% of which were in active employment.
• The age of our population ranged from under 4 to over 85! However, there was a fairly even distribution of ages except for young people aged between 15 and 24, where numbers were well below average.
• Fortunately most of our residents are in very good, or good health, with less than 3% of our community in bad health or worse.
• We also have an abundance of families in our Parish with 74% of households being a single family household, which is above the national average of 63%.
• Although 54.5% of our community are not classified as "deprived" by the ONS, a third of our population are considered to be deprived in one dimension, and nearly 12% in over two dimensions. (Please see ONS' definition of household deprivation variables).

The Census itself has a wealth of information about the community that we serve.
