1 How we have used population demographics

Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs) have been used for the purpose of identifying the population demographics. These are geographical areas designed to improve the reporting of small geographical area statistics for Census purposes, and generally consist of between 1000 – 3000 people or 400 – 1200 households.

For the purposes of statistical analysis, the population is divided into five equal groups called quintiles. The Locality Analysis focuses on those LSOAs which, when ranked against all other LSOAs in the country, fall into the first quintile (or top 20%) because it has the highest concentration of a population demographic or a deprivation index, for example people aged 75 plus or Health Deprivation and Disability.

Colour coding is used in the graphics to effectively display the various concentrations in quintiles of a particular demographic for the LSOA in question. In the maps LSOAs that fall into the first quintile are coloured red, and those in the second quintile which has the next highest concentration, are displayed as amber. See below for legend key:

Population data for the Lower Super Output Areas has been derived from 2016 mid-year population estimates from the Office of National Statistics. Indices of deprivation 2015 data is from Communities and Local Government and Single Person Households data comes from 2011 Census, Office for National Statistics. The Indices of Deprivation 2015 measure relative deprivation in the Lower Super Output Areas and consist of seven domains of deprivation which are combined to form the Index of Multiple Deprivation.

5 Loggerheads summary

Access to retail, banking, health and leisure services for frail, older people and people with limited mobility

Loggerheads is a large village, in a rural setting close to the Shropshire border and Market Drayton but isolated from other Staffordshire communities.

It is served by the no. 164 Market Drayton to Newcastle bus service which runs through the middle of the village on the A53. This linear route offers limited access to public transport for older, frail people and people with limited mobility who live in other parts of the village. Buses run hourly with a journey time of 11 minutes to Market Drayton in Shropshire and 28 minutes to Newcastle.

Services and facilities in the village are limited: there is no bank, GP surgery, dental practice or cafes. The following facilities and services are within an acceptable walking distance of a bus stop for a frail older person:

• One medium sized supermarket • Post office • A free to use ATM

The pharmacy in the village centre is slightly above the acceptable walking distance for the target group.

GIS Locality Analysis: Loggerheads Page 13

Travelling by public transport to the nearest GP surgery in the village of Ashley could be problematic due to the hourly frequency of the bus service. There is a dispensary in the doctor’s surgery.

The nearest dental practice, chiropodist, podiatrist and bank are in Market Drayton, and again access to these services could be difficult due to the hourly frequency of the bus service.

People who use the bus to access shops in the village centre need to negotiate the busy A53 using the pedestrian refuges, as there is no pedestrian crossing. The village retail area appears to be accessible by mobility scooter, but it may be difficult for a user to cross the road as there is no pedestrian crossing in the village centre.
