Swinton Ward Profile 2019

Description Swinton Ward lies in the north east of the Borough, with a population of 11,590 (2017) and an area of 492 hectares. The ward covers most of the small town of Swinton (population 10,810) although the western part is in Wath Ward, and most of neighbouring Kilnhurst (population 3,840), part of which is in Silverwood ward. Swinton is a varied ward with several pockets of deprivation such as the Fitzwilliam estate but also some better-off areas off Lime Grove and Celandine Rise. However, the socio-economic characteristics overall are fairly typical of Rotherham Borough. There are industrial areas by the River Don and Swinton Bridge, adjoining Mexbrough.

Index of Multiple Deprivation 2015

The Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) is a Government index for all areas in England. The 2015 index uses 37 indicators across 7 deprivation domains (themes) with a 2013/14 baseline. The IMD is only produced for Lower-level Super Output Areas (SOAs) of which there are 167 in Rotherham (around 8 per ward) and 32,844 in England, each with about 1,500 people. SOAs are ranked across England where 1 is the most deprived. Any rank below 3,285 indicates that an area is within the 10% most deprived areas of England.
