2.1 At the time of writing, the available 2011 Census Information does not provide all the information included in this section (e.g. household composition). Thus, some information in the profile is based on other information sources which are identified in the report. The profile will be updated as and when further 2011 Census information is available. Where a housing neighbourhood covered more than one AP area (i.e. Canal and Maryhill/Kelvin), it was not possible for some information sources to provide the figures (Table 3 & 4) that related to the part of the neighbourhood within Canal AP. The profile will be updated as and when these figures are available.

Population

2.2 Based on the 2011 Census, the total population within Canal AP is 32,243. Canal AP has the second highest population among the seven APs in the North West Sector equating to 15.6% of the estimated North West Sector population (n 206,483) and 5.4% of the estimated population in Glasgow City (n 593,245).

2.3 88% of the population are White – British or Irish. The percentage (12.2%) of ethnic minorities including Black or Minority Ethnic (BME – 8.0%) and other white (non UK/non Irish – 4.2%) resident in the Area Partnership is the second lowest within the North West and lower than the respective levels for North West Glasgow (BME 11.9%; other white non UK/non Irish 4.9%) and Glasgow City (BME 11.6%; other white non UK/non Irish 3.9%).

2.4 Within the overall AP ward population, Table 2 below illustrates the main age band populations both numerically and in percentage terms enabling comparisons with North West Glasgow and Glasgow City.

2.5 Canal: In summary, the most notable demographic features are:

x The relatively low percentage of its population that are Black or Minority Ethnic;

x The differing age profile within the AP. Examples of this are

Page 2 of 31 o In Ruchill/Possilpark and Lambhill/ Milton, nearly one in five of the populations is children (19%) whereas it is less than one in ten in the Maryhill Road Corridor neighbourhood part of the Canal AL; o Older people (65/65+) make up nearly one in five of the population in the part of Lambhill Milton that is in the Canal AP whereas the Canal AP and Glasgow average would be one in seven people are aged 65/65+; o The Maryhill Road Corridor part in Canal AP has a very high percentage (83%) of its population that is of working age, primarily due to the very high (29%) percentage of its population that is aged 16-24.

2.6 North West: In comparison to other wards within the North West, Canal AP has:

x The second highest population including the second highest older population (65/65+)

x In percentage terms, an age profile that is middle table within the seven North West APs (i.e. 3rd highest percentage of 0-15 year olds and 65/65+; 4th highest working age percentage).

It is difficult to predict solely based on demographics (due to the difficulty in quantifying the number currently residing in the area temporarily as students) if Canal AP will experience an increase or decrease in the number of people aged 16-19 over the next five years seeking employment. Based on demographics, the youth employment demand should increase relative to the other APs in the North West as Canal has a higher number and higher than average percentage of its population among the seven North West APs that is aged 10-15.

2.7 Glasgow: In comparison to other wards across Glasgow, Canal AP has:

x A population profile that is line with the Glasgow average in terms of three main age bands (0-15; 16-64; 65/65+)

Housing

2.8 As of the 1st April 2013, the total housing stock in this Area Partnership was estimated as 16,132.

2.9 Households: Based on 2010 estimates, Table 3 illustrates that 23.1% (n 3,390) of households in Canal AP have children residing in them of which 38.9% (n 1,320; 9% of all households) were single parent households. The level of households with children is above the North West average level (20%) but is in line with the average level for Glasgow City (23%). The level of single parent households in Canal AP, especially in the Ruchill/Possilpark neighbourhood (14%), is above the average level of single parent households both for the North West (6.5%) and Glasgow (7.2%).

Just over half (52.0%) of the housing stock in the AP is either owner occupied (36.7%) or private rented (15.3%). The level of privately funded housing in Canal AP is significantly below both the average level for the North West (65% - owner occupied 43%; private rented 22%) and for Glasgow City (64%% - owner occupied 45%; private rented 19%). The relatively low level of privately funded housing in the Canal AP is due to less than a third (32%) of housing stock in Ruchill/Possilpark being privately funded. Out with Ruchill/Possilpark, 62% of housing stock in Canal AP is privately funded housing while is in line with the North West and Glasgow average levels.

2.11 In comparative terms, the level (48%) of social rented housing overall in Canal AP is the highest among the seven North West APs and is also significantly above the equivalent level for Glasgow City (36.4%).

That is the highest percentage among the seven North West APs and the seventh highest percentage across the 21 APs in Glasgow. It is also significantly higher than the average Band A-C percentage for Scotland (61.5%);

x 30% of houses are rated in Council Tax Band A (less than £27,000) which is the highest level in the North West and the sixth highest among the 21 APs in Glasgow. More than eight times more houses in Canal are in Band A than in Bands F – H.

Poverty/Deprivation

2.14 Based on the 2012 Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD), 27 of the 37 datazone areas within the AP have been ranked within the worst 15% of datazones in Scotland. Using 2010 population estimates, two thirds (68%) the Canal AP population reside in the worst 15% datazones in Scotland. This is more the twice the percentage for the North West of Glasgow (33%).

14 datazones are ranked in the worst 5% datazones in Scotland, which equates to 32% of the AP’s population residing in a worst 5% datazone area. A further seven datazones are ranked between 5% - 10% worst datazones in Scotland, which equates to 21% of the population in the AP residing in a worst 5-10% datazone area.

4 datazones are ranked in the best 25% of datazones in Scotland, which equates to 9% of the AP’s population residing in a 25% best datazone area.

2.15 The SIMD position within Canal AP has improved since 2009 as 9 datazones have improved in terms of their 5% bandings with only 2 datazones worsening.

Still to write comparative analysis for Glasgow and on information for the different domains within the SIMD info to identify any specific issues e.g. health; crime etc

2.16 SIMD Summary: Table 7 summarises information from the 2004 - 2012 SIMD findings for the neighbourhoods within the Canal AP, relative to SOA priorities and illustrates:

Page 5 of 31 x that the three housing neighbourhoods have all been ranked among the worst half of the 56 Housing Neighbourhoods in Glasgow in terms of the SIMD Income deprivation domain, which is a close proxy for the overall deprivation score in each neighbourhood;

x that Ruchill/Possilpark is ranked in the top (worst) ten of the 56 Housing Neighbourhoods across all the indicators in the table.

Labour Market/Economic Activity

3.1 Most data relating to the labour market/economic activity is not available regularly at an AP level as it is based on national surveys (Census; Annual Population Survey). The following information is based on the available 2011 Census data or Annual Population Survey information but in some instances the information provided is at a Scottish Parliamentary Constituency level as that is the smallest geographical area that information is available at.

Economic Activity:

3.2 According to the 2011 Census, Table 8 shows that

x Two thirds (66.9%) of Canal working age residents were economically active which is a lower level of economic activity than the overall Glasgow City economic activity level with 52.5% in the AP being employees/self employed;

x There are differences within the AP in the overall economic activity level especially in the percentage of working age residents that were employed at the 2011 Census, which ranged from 49.6% of working age residents in Ruchill/Possilpark to 55.7% in Lambhill/Milton;

x Ruchill/Possilpark and Lambhill/Milton have levels of unemployed working age residents higher than the average for the North West and Glasgow City;

x The unemployment rate (see note b below) for this AP was 11.5%, ranging from 5.9% in Maryhill Road Corridor to 16.2% in Ruchill/Possilpark. This level will have reduced since the Census in 2011 as the number of unemployed has reduced since 2011. The Glasgow unemployment rate in 2011 was 10%.

The table illustrates that:

Page 7 of 31 x Canal has a higher average percentage than the North West/Glasgow average of its working age residents who assess themselves as being in the four lower income employment classifications;

x Excluding the full time students, 24% of the remaining residents in the AP classified their employment status as either “Higher managerial/professional” or “Lower managerial/ professional”. The comparative level for Glasgow City is 29%.

Note: The percentage is of the 16-74 age group to reflect the employment position of people recently retired. 3.4 Households Economic Activity: Based on the Annual Population Survey for 2012, Table 10 illustrates that

x Only a third of households in the two Scottish Parliamentary constituencies are classified as “working” households (i.e. all individuals aged 16+ are in employment). The two constituencies have the lowest level of “working” households among the eight Glasgow SP constituencies;

x Nearly four of every ten households in the two Scottish Parliamentary constituencies are workless (no individuals aged 16 and over are in employment) households which is higher than the average level for Glasgow City and nearly two times higher than the average level for Scotland.

Page 8 of 31 Out of Work Benefit Claimants

3.5 Given the unavailability of regular data on the topics above at an Area Partnership level, an increasing focus in determining the current economic position within an AP is based on the level of benefit claimants within the AP area.

3.6 Canal: Table 11 illustrates that throughout the last five years,

x The number and rate of out of work benefit claimants has remained relatively constant over the last five years;

x The level of “out of work” benefits claimants is not consistent across the Canal AP area as it ranges from 1 in eight of the working age residents in Maryhill Road Corridor part of the AP to 1 in three in the Ruchill/Possilpark part of the AP.

x The majority (n 3,565; 64%) of the out of work benefit claimants in the AP are receiving Employment Support Assistance (ESA)/Incapacity Benefit (IB). This equates to more than 1 in every 7 people (15.8%) of working age in this AP is receiving this benefit, which is more than the average level for Glasgow (12.1%). Within ESA/IB claimants, 32% (n 1150) have been receiving ESA/IB for in excess of 2 years and 16% (n 555) have been receiving ESA/IB for in excess of 5 years.

Thus, it does not include benefits for working age people that are classified by DWP under carer; disabled or bereaved. Rate is the proportion of resident population aged 16-64 (based on 2011 mid year population estimates). *Both Housing Neighbourhoods in the AP cover more than this AP area – the information provided above only relates to the part that is in Canal AP.

3.7 North West Sector: Canal AP has presently the highest number and rate of “Out of Work” Benefit claimants among the seven North West wards. That position has been constant throughout the last five years.

3.8 Glasgow: The details for the AP wards out with the North West have still to be determined so presently no comparative analysis is available at an AP ward level.

Page 9 of 31 Job Seekers Allowance (JSA)

3.9 Canal AP Working Age (16-64) JSA Claimants: Chart 1 and Table 12 illustrate that

x throughout the last five years, Canal AP has had a higher rate of people claiming Job Seekers Allowance than is the average for the rest of the North West Glasgow; Glasgow City and Scotland;

x the December 2013 level of JSA claimants in Canal AP is 17% higher than it was five years ago (20% higher than the level in August 2008, which is taken as the month that the recession started to impact). The percentage increase in the number of JSA claimants in this AP since August 2008 is higher than the increase experienced across North West Glasgow (14% increase), Glasgow City (17% increase) but lower than the increase in Scotland (32%);

x Canal experienced its highest level of JSA claimants much later (February 2013) than was the usual experience for APs in Glasgow so it has seen a downward trend in the number of JSA claimants for only the last year whereas Glasgow and Scotland has experienced the downward trend for the last two years;

3.10 North West Sector: Canal AP has presently the highest number and rate of JSA claimants among the seven North West wards.

3.11 Glasgow: Canal AP has presently the second highest number and third highest rate of JSA claimants across the 21 APs. During the last five years, Canal AP relative position has remained static as it has consistently had the second or third highest number and rate of JSA claimants among the 21 APs.

Young (16-24) Job Seeker Allowance Claimants

3.12 Canal: Table 13 illustrates that:

x there has been an actual reduction in the numbers of 16-24 years old JSA claimants within the Canal AP area compared to five years ago. This has meant that, among JSA claimants, Canal AP witnessed a drop in the percentage who were aged under 25, falling from 30% five years ago to a present level of 27%. However, this level is still above the average for the North West; Glasgow City and Scotland;

x throughout the last five years, Canal AP has had a rate of 16-24 years old claiming JSA than is above the average rate for the rest of the North West Glasgow, Glasgow City and Scotland. Canal AP is one of three APs in the North West where the rate of 16-24 years old JSA claimants is higher than the rate for those aged 25/25+;

x the levels of 16-24 years old JSA claimants in Ruchill/Possilpark and Lambhill/Milton is more than double the average for Glasgow and Scotland and more than three times the average rate for the North West of Glasgow.

Page 11 of 31 3.13 The bullet points (above) highlight an improving but still challenging position relating to 16-24 years old JSA claimants in Canal AP, especially in the Ruchill/Possilpark and Lambhill/Milton parts of the AP.

3.14 North West Sector: Throughout the last five years, Canal AP has had the highest number and the third highest rate of 16-24 years old JSA claimants in the North West. The rate (5.9%) at December 2013 was 84% above the average rate in the North West and more than six and a half time higher than the lowest level in the North West (0.9%, Anderston/City AP).

3.15 Glasgow: As at December 2013, Canal AP has the most 16-24 years old JSA claimants and the ninth highest rate of 16-24 years old JSA claimants across the 21 Area Partnerships. Canal AP’s position has worsened in comparative terms as five years ago it had the second highest number and the fourteenth highest rate of 16-24 years old JSA claimants across the 21 Area Partnerships.

Education

3.16 School Leavers: Tables 14a-b provide details relating to the destination of 2011/12 North West school leavers. Details relating to the destination of 2012/13 school leavers are not yet available at an AP level but Table 15 provides the percentage details relating to North West schools.

Tables 14a-b illustrate that

x 18% (n256) of the 2011/12 North West school leavers were resident in the Canal AP;

x More than half (56%; n144) of the school leavers from this AP were destined for Higher Education (27%) or Further Education (29%). This is a level that is slightly below the Glasgow average (58%) and significantly below the Scottish average (64%);

x Twice as many school leavers were destined for employment (n52; 20%) than unemployment (n26; 10%). The percentage destined for employment was the highest among the seven North West APs.

3.17 Whilst there are no secondary schools physically located in the Canal AP, young people from the Canal AP attend Cleveden Secondary and John Paul Academy in the North West. Table 15 illustrates that

x Six out of the eight secondary schools achieved a higher positive destination level in 2012/13 than in the previous year. However, the overall average level of positive destination for the North West secondary schools is still slightly below the Glasgow average;

x Cleveden Secondary and John Paul Academy achieved a different level of positive outcome destinations among their 2012/13 school leavers levels. Cleveden Academy achieved an improving positive destinations outcome level that was above the North West and Glasgow average and only slightly below the Scottish average. John Paul Academy had the lowest positive destinations outcome level among the seven North West Secondary Schools.

Page 16 of 31 3.19 Section Summary: Canal AP is, in economic terms, an AP with significant economic challenges relative to other APs in Glasgow as it has in comparative terms:

x A higher than average economic inactivity level

x a higher percentage of residents who are in lower income occupations;

x a higher percentage who are unemployed, including a higher level of 16-24 years old unemployed; and

x one in four working age residents claiming “out of work” benefits;

x a lower percentage of school leavers going on to Higher or Further Education

Page 17 of 31 4. Health Information (inc. comparative info for Glasgow & Scotland where available & applicable

4.1 In 2013, Canal Area Partnerships received a report and presentation on the local Health & Wellbeing Profile. However, the profile was based on the three former North West Local Community Planning Partnerships (LCPPs) areas and the “Intermediate Zones” (IZ) areas within those LCPPs. This AP profile has not equated the IZ exactly to the AP boundaries but has excluded those IZ areas that are not within the Canal AP. It is envisaged that the Health information will be available at AP/Multi Member Electoral Ward level in the near future.

North West Health Profile

4.2 Based on 2010 North West Health & Wellbeing Profiles, a summary of the key features are as follows:

x Life Expectancy & Mortality: Male and female life expectancy (71.0 and 77.2 years respectively) in North West Glasgow is significantly lower than the Scottish average (74.5 and 79.5 years respectively), although it has been rising steadily over time. Mortality rates from a range of illnesses inc. coronary heart disease (under-75s), cerebrovascular disease (under-75s) and cancer (under-75s) are all significantly higher (worse) than the Scottish average;

x Behaviours: An estimated 32.0% of adults smoke in the council area, compared to 25.0% in Scotland as a whole. In North West Glasgow there have been 670 deaths from alcohol related conditions in the last five years and the alcohol related death rate is significantly higher than the Scottish average. The proportion of the population hospitalised with alcohol conditions is higher than the Scottish average, and the proportion hospitalised with drug related conditions is similar to the Scottish average. The levels of sporting participation in Glasgow are significantly lower than average;

x Ill Health & Injury and Mental Health: Cancer registrations, diabetes prevalence, and the proportions of the population hospitalised for coronary heart disease, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cerebrovascular disease, emergency admissions and multiple admissions (65 years and over) are all significantly higher (worse) in North West Glasgow than the Scotland average. However, the rates of hospitalisations for asthma, and falls in the home (65 years and over), are significantly lower than average, as is the road traffic accident casualty rate. Drug prescribing for mental health problems is significantly higher than the Scottish average. The suicide death rate in North West Glasgow (21.6 per 100,000 populations) is also significantly higher than the Scottish average (15.1 per 100,000 populations).

x Women's & Children's Health: Breast screening uptake is significantly lower in North West Glasgow (67.7%) than the Scottish average (75.3%). The prevalence of pregnant mothers who smoke, and the rate of teenage pregnancies (under-18s), are both significantly higher than average. The percentage of babies exclusively breastfed at 6-8 weeks is, however, Page 18 of 31 significantly higher than average, whilst immunisation uptake at 24 months is significantly lower than average. Child dental health in primary 1 is significantly worse than the Scottish average.

North West Health & Wellbeing Summary

4.3 Based on 57 health & wellbeing indicators, the North West scored significantly worse than the Scottish average for 43 indicators. Table 17(a) lists the indicators for which the North West scored most significantly worse than the average levels for Scotland and Table 17(b) lists the seven Health & Wellbeing indicators for which the North West performed significantly better than the Scottish average:

Canal

4.4 The information provided in Sections 4.5 – 4.8 is based on a subset of the 57 Health indicators as they relate to the ten IZ Areas that are fully or partly within the Canal AP. The 2010 population estimates for the IZ areas within the Canal AP are

x Possilpark 5,431 x Ruchill 4,839 x Keppochhill 4,558 x Milton West 3,889 x Milton East 3,402 x Cowlairs & Port Dundas 3,274

Page 19 of 31 x North Kelvin 2,750 x Firhill 1,679 x Summerston Central & West 1,043 x Springburn East 1,033

It should be noted that the names given to some of the IZs may not reflect local understanding of the geographical area. .

Life Expectancy

4.5 Table 18 provides the estimated life expectancy by gender for the eight IZ areas within the Canal AP. The key findings are that:

x Around 85% of residents within the Canal AP live in an area where the life expectancy is lower than the average for the North West Glasgow and c. 90% live in an area where the life expectancy is lower than the average for the Scottish average;

x For both male and female life expectancy, four of the ten lowest North West life expectancy levels are in Canal AP. The two lowest North West male and second lowest female life expectancy levels are in this AP;

x There are some significant differences between gender and localities within the AP. Two examples of the differences are

o in two IZ areas within the AP, a female is expected to live at least 10 years longer than a male; and

o a male in North Kelvin is expected to live 14 years longer than a male in Possilpark, which is only walking distance away.

Mental Health

4.6 Tables 19a and 19b provide three Mental Health indicators for the five IZ areas. The key findings are:

Page 20 of 31 x 72% (92% when comparing against the Scottish average) of the Canal AP residents live in IZs areas that have a higher level of prescribing for anxiety/depression than the North West Glasgow average. The two IZs with the highest level of prescribing for anxiety/depression in the North West are in this AP;

x 88% of the Canal AP residents live in IZs areas that have a higher level of psychiatric hospitalisation than the North West Glasgow and Scottish average. The IZ with the highest psychiatric hospitalisation rate in the North West is located in this AP;

x Significant variations exist across the AP relating to the Psychiatric Hospitalisation Rate with a prevalence level in one area (Keppochhill) being more than four times higher than in another area (Summerston Central and West);

x Seven of the ten IZs areas within Canal AP have a suicide rate that is above the North West average level.

Alcohol & Drugs

4.7 Table 20 provides the alcohol/drugs hospitalisation rates for the five Intermediate Datazone areas within the Canal AP. The key findings are:

Page 21 of 31 x Nearly 70% of the Canal AP residents reside in the six IZ areas in the AP area that have alcohol and drug related hospitalisation rates that are above the North West Glasgow and Scottish average. Canal AP includes the two IZs with the highest alcohol and drug hospitalisation rates in the North West;

x Significant variations exist across the AP relating to both the alcohol and drug hospitalisation rate e.g. the drug hospitalisation rate in Possilpark is nearly 20 times higher than rate in Summerston Central and West.

Table 20: Canal Alcohol & Drugs Hospitalisation Rates Hospitalisation Alcohol Hospitalisation Drugs 1 Keppochhill 2546 1 Possilpark 400.6 2 Possilpark 2310 2 Keppochhill 328.9 5 Milton West 2086 3 Milton East 304.4 8 Cowlairs & Port Dundas 1772 5 Cowlairs & Port Dundas 265.1 10 Springburn East 1641 8 Milton West 171.7 13 Milton East 1564 17 Springburn East 109.8 24 Summerston Central and West 1159 North West average 88.9 North West average 1127 21 Ruchill 85.1 26 Firhill 1124 Scottish average 85.1 Scottish average 1088 31 Firhill 57.3 28 Ruchill 1075 38 North Kelvin 26.0 39 North Kelvin 627 41 Summerston Central and West 20.3 Note: The numbers in the first and fourth columns (from the left) are the IZ area’s ranking within the 47 North West Intermediate Zones. Rate is the age-sex standardised rate per 100,000 population averaged over 3 years.

Multiple Hospital Admissions and Emergency Hospital Admissions 4.8 Table 21 provides details on the multiple hospital admission rates for older people and the overall rate of emergency hospital admission. The information is not comprehensive for the North West in terms of emergency admissions but the main findings are:

x 84% of the Canal AP residents live in IZ areas that have a below Scottish average rate of multiple hospital admissions for people aged 65+:

x 71% (86% when compared with Scottish average) of Canal AP residents live in IZ areas that have an above North West Glasgow average rate of emergency hospital admissions;

x Significant variations exist within the AP in the prevalence rates for both indicators. The highest IZ prevalence rate for 65+ with multiple admissions is nearly double the lowest IZ prevalence rate and the highest IZ prevalence rate for emergency admissions is more than double the lowest rate in the AP.

Rate is the age-sex standardised rate per 100,000 population averaged over 3 years.

4.9 Section Summary: There are a range of health issues and inequalities across the North West of Glasgow but based on the information in this section, the main health related findings for this AP are that:

x The majority of residents in the Canal AP live in areas that have, in comparative terms, negative health indicators. The impact of this is that around 85% of residents within the Canal AP live in an area where the life expectancy is lower than the average for the North West Glasgow;

x For seven of the nine indicators (above), the worst North West IZ area is located in the Canal AP area;

x Possilpark and Keppochhill IZ area(s) are the Health “Hot Spot” areas with the AP as they are in the worst three IZs within Canal AP for the majority of the indicators (above).

Page 23 of 31 5. Neighbourhood Management (inc. comparative info for Glasgow & Scotland where available & applicable)

5.1 Neighbourhood Management is a central remit of the Area Partnership which is required to develop an Area Partnership Neighbourhood Management Action Plan, based around local “crime and grime” issues.

5.2 When provided with a list of 12 options in the 2011 Neighbourhood Management Survey and asked “what one thing would you change about your neighbourhood that would help improve your quality of life”, the following four options were chosen most frequently by Canal residents:

x More police officers on the streets x More play areas for children x More youth provision/activities for young people/teenagers x More jobs

5.3 The main community safety issues identified in 2011 by local residents as a problem locally were: x Drunk or Rowdy Behaviour x Street drinking x Drug dealing

5.4 Sections 5.6 – 5.13 provide more recent information on Neighbourhood Management issues and, in some instances, the actions taken within this AP to the concerns expressed in the Neighbourhood Management Survey.

Community Safety

5.5 The information in this section is based on the Community Safety Index (CSI) which comprises key data from Police Scotland, Greater Glasgow and Clyde NHS and Scottish Fire Service. Based on the data, it provides an overall CSI ranking across the 694 SIMD datazones in Glasgow.

5.6 Map 2 and Table 22 illustrate the following

6.1 This section has still to be completed as it may contain information that has been specifically requested by Area Partnership members at and subsequent to its meeting on the 10th March 2014.

7. Area Partnership Profile Summary

7.1 This section of the profile has still to be finalised if any additional information is requested by the Area Partnership to be included in Section 6 but at the time of writing, the main findings of the Canal Area Partnership profile are as follows:

Demographic & Socio-Economic

x The total population within Canal AP is 32,243. Canal has experienced a 3.8% increase in its population since the 2001 Census;

x 88% of the population are White – British or Irish. The percentage (12.2%) of ethnic minorities including Black or Minority Ethnic (BME – 8.0%) and other white (non UK/non Irish – 4.2%) resident in the Area Partnership is the second lowest within the North West and lower than the respective levels for North West Glasgow (BME 11.9%; other white non UK/non Irish 4.9%) and Glasgow City (BME 11.6%; other white non UK/non Irish 3.9%);

x The differing age profile within the AP. Examples of this are

o In Ruchill/Possilpark and Lambhill/ Milton, nearly one in five of the populations is children (19%) whereas it is less than one in ten in the Maryhill Road Corridor neighbourhood part of the Canal AL; o Older people (65/65+) make up nearly one in five of the population in the part of Lambhill Milton that is in the Canal AP whereas the Canal AP and Glasgow average would be one in seven people are aged 65/65+; o The Maryhill Road Corridor part in Canal AP has a very high percentage (83%) of its population that is of working age, primarily due to the very high (29%) percentage of its population that is aged 16-24.

x Just over half (52.0%) of the housing stock in the AP is either owner occupied (36.7%) or private rented (15.3%). The level of privately funded housing in Canal AP is significantly below both the average level for the North West (65% - owner occupied 43%; private rented 22%) and for Glasgow City (64%% - owner occupied 45%; private rented 19%);

x The level (48%) of social rented housing overall in Canal AP is the highest among the seven North West APs and is also significantly above the equivalent level for Glasgow City (36.4%);

x 80% of the dwellings in Canal AP are rated at Council Tax Band A-C (less than £45,000). 30% of houses are rated in Council Tax Band A (less than £27,000) which is the highest level in the North West and the sixth highest among the 21 APs in Glasgow. More than eight times more houses in Canal are in Band A than in Bands F – H; Page 29 of 31 x 68% of the Canal AP population reside in a worst 15% Scottish datazone area. This is more the twice the percentage for the North West of Glasgow (33%);

x The three housing neighbourhoods within Canal AP have all been ranked among the worst half of the 56 Housing Neighbourhoods in Glasgow in terms of the SIMD Income deprivation domain;

Labour Market/Employment/Benefit Information

x Ruchill/Possilpark and Lambhill/Milton have levels of unemployed working age residents higher than the average for the North West and Glasgow City. The unemployment rate for this AP was 11.5%, ranging from 5.9% in Maryhill Road Corridor to 16.2% in Ruchill/Possilpark;

x Canal has a higher average percentage than the North West/Glasgow average of its working age residents who assess themselves as being in the four lower income employment classifications;

The present level for the Canal AP is the highest in the North West; higher than the average level for Glasgow City and nearly twice the average Scottish level. The number and rate of out of work benefit claimants has remained relatively constant over the last five years. The level of “out of work” benefits claimants is not consistent across the Canal AP area as it ranges from 1 in eight of the working age residents in Maryhill Road Corridor part of the AP to 1 in three in the Ruchill/Possilpark part of the AP. The majority (n 3,565; 64%) of the out of work benefit claimants in the AP are receiving Employment Support Assistance (ESA)/Incapacity Benefit (IB);

x Throughout the last five years, Canal AP has had a higher rate of people claiming Job Seekers Allowance than is the average for the rest of the North West Glasgow; Glasgow City and Scotland;

x Canal AP has presently the highest number and rate of JSA claimants among the seven North West wards. Canal AP has presently the second highest number and third highest rate of JSA claimants across the 21 APs. The December 2013 level of JSA claimants in Canal AP is 17% higher than it was five years ago;

x There has been an actual reduction in the numbers of 16-24 years old JSA claimants within the Canal AP area compared to five years ago. However, the current level is still above the average for the North West; Glasgow City and Scotland.

x Throughout the last five years, Canal AP has had a rate of 16-24 years old claiming JSA than is above the average rate for the rest of the North West Glasgow, Glasgow City and Scotland. Canal AP is one of three APs in the North West where the rate of 16-24 years old JSA claimants is higher than the rate for those aged 25/25+;

Page 30 of 31 x More than half (56%; n144) of the school leavers from this AP were destined for Higher Education (27%) or Further Education (29%). This is a level that is slightly below the Glasgow average (58%) and significantly below the Scottish average (64%);
