Population turnover data is available at Middle Super Output Area (MSOA) for moves made within the UK between July 2008 and June 2009, showing the number of people moving into, or out of, a MSOA from elsewhere in the UK during the year.

Using data from ONS population projections and the ward estimates, an indication can be derived of how the ward population will change in future. The population of the ward and the City is estimated to grow to 2015. While many age groups, such as young children aged 0 to 9, the 25 to 39s, 45 to 59s, 65 to 69s and 85 and over, are predicted to increase in numbers, some age groups, such as 10 to 24s, 40 to 44s, 60 to 64s and 70 to 84s are forecast to decrease.

25 Glossary

Indicator Definition Population Total number of people estimated by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) estimates to be usually living in an area, whatever their nationality. The figure include people from outside the UK who plan to stay in the country for 12 months or more but exclude visitors and short-term migrants (less than 3 months). Students are estimated to be resident at their term time address. Population estimates were revised, using new methodology, and were published for wards for 2002-2009 in early 2011. Population An ONS calculation of the future number of people likely to be resident in a projections local authority, based on trends over the past five years in births, deaths and migration. The projections are based solely on demographic factors and do not take into account local issues, such as the impact of new housing. The 2008-based Sub National Population Projection (SNPP) is the latest available. Ward level projections in this profile are derived in-house using ONS experimental ward statistics for 2009 and ONS 2008-based SNPP, and are not official statistics. 2001 Census The 2001 Census underestimated population in Manchester by over 30,100. When ONS issued a revised mid-year population estimate for Manchester for 2001, the 2001 Census data was NOT revised, and the ONS 2001 Census figures in this profile are based on the underestimated 2001 population for the City of Manchester, which will affect their accuracy, particularly at small geographical area. Child A measure showing the number of dependents (aged 0-15 and aged 60/65 dependency/elderly and over) to the total working age population (aged 16-59/64), calculated by dependency number of dependents divided by working age population x 100. For example, if in a population of 1,000 there are 250 people under the age of 16 and 500 people between the ages of 15-59/64, the child dependency ratio would be 50% (250/500). This indicator gives insight into the amount of people of non-working age compared to the number of those of working age. A high ratio means those of working age - and the overall economy - face a greater burden in supporting the ageing population. Ethnicity An ONS estimate of ethnic group likely to be resident in a local authority. Ward level projections in this profile are derived in-house using ONS experimental ward statistics for 2007 (unrevised), ONS experimental ethnic group estimates 2007 and 2001 Census, and are not official statistics. Population density Total number of people estimated to be usually living in an area per hectare. Tenure Tenure data in this profile uses different sources. See 2001 Census (above) for use of 2001 Census tenure data. Tenure categories for dwelling stock are defined as: - owner-occupied - owned outright or being bought with a mortgage; - rented privately - all non owner-occupied property other than that rented from local authorities and Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) plus rented from private or public bodies through employment (with or without rent); - social rented accommodation - rented from RSL and rented from Local Authorities. Deprivation The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2010 (IMD 2010) is a relative measure of deprivation used by national government to measure deprivation at local authority and Lower Super Output Area (LSOA). They bring together a range of indicators, covering income, employment, health and disability, education, skills and training, barriers to housing and services, the living environment and crime. Data for the IMD 2010 generally relates to 2008. ______

26 Household income PayCheck, from CACI, profiles income for all 1.6 million individual postcodes in the UK, using information on over 4 million households from CACI’s lifestyle database, in conjunction with Census and market research data to increase statistical reliability. Children in poverty Child poverty is defined as any child living in a household with below 60% of average income after housing costs, that is the number of children living in families in receipt of Child Tax Credit, whose reported income is less than 60% of the median income, or in receipt of Income Support or (Income- Based) Job Seekers Allowance, divided by the total number of children in the area (determined by Child Benefit data). Lone parent benefit Income support is extra money to help people on low income. Lone parents claimants who are not available for full-time work and do not have enough money to live on may be able to get income support. Lone parent claimants receive Income Support with a child under 16 and no partner. IB/ESA From October 27, 2008 Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) replaced Incapacity Benefit (IB) and Income Support paid on incapacity grounds for new customers. If a person is not available to work due to a health condition or disability may be able to get ESA. ESA offers claimants personalized support and financial help, so that they can work if they are able to. Claimant count/Job Job Seekers Allowance (JSA) records the number of people claiming JSA Seekers Allowance and National Insurance details at Job Centre Plus local offices. The (JSA) percentage figures (claimant count rate) express the number of claimants resident in an area as a proportion of the working age population (16-59 for women and 16-64 for men) resident in that area. From August, residence based proportions at City level are calculated using the population aged 16- 64. NEET The proportion of NEET is presented as a percentage of the ward cohort. Low birth weight Percentage of all live and stillborn infants who are born with a stated birth weight weighing under 2,500 grams. BETA model Beta Model data is derived from Yellow Pages, Yell.Com and Thompsons enterprises and Business Directory. This accounts for approximately 75% of all active employees enterprises. Under-18 Number of births and conceptions to mothers aged under 18 per 1,000 conception rate females aged 15-17 years. Resident telephone Data from surveys should be interpreted with reference to confidence survey intervals. The Manchester resident telephone survey 2010/11 achieved a total of 4,208 responses, equivalent to a confidence interval of +/-1.5%. The confidence interval for telephone survey results for Woodhouse Park is +/- 8.9%. Confidence intervals have been calculated based on a 95% confidence level. That means that actual results in the population would be within the calculated confidence interval around the sample score in 95% of cases.

The confidence interval gives the degree of accuracy that can be assumed when making inferences about the whole population based on sample data. A confidence interval of +/- 5% would mean that if the 50% of the sample pick an answer option, then we can infer that between 45% and 55% of the population would also pick that answer option. The most important factor in calculating confidence intervals is the size of the sample rather than the size of the population.
