The most significant poverty-related issue in this parish is the relatively low female life expectancy. The next most significant issue is the relatively low male life expectancy.
Pensioner poverty, working age poverty and lone parenthood in this parish are among the highest in the country. Male life expectancy and female life expectancy in this parish are among the lowest nationally. Child poverty in this parish is higher than average compared with other parishes in the country. Qualification levels in this parish are lower than average compared with other parishes nationally.
So less than a thousand within the poorest in England which is pretty interesting.
You?
