Overview of Wirral

Wirral is a borough of contrast, both in its physical characteristics and demographics. Rural areas and urban and industrialised areas sit side by side in a compact peninsula of 60 square miles with around 30 miles of coastline. There is a lower proportion of younger adults in their twenties and thirties and a higher proportion of older people in Wirral compared to England and Wales The 65+ age group is expected to increase at a faster rate than any other age group over the next two decades. Between 2006 and 2031 it is estimated that this population group will have increased by 45% in Wirral The Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) 2010, ranked Wirral as being in the most deprived 20% of local authorities nationally. The map (left) shows this differential in deprivation between the east and west of Wirral visually. The inequality in disability-free life expectancy for example, is the largest in England and stood at 20 years for men and 17 years for women (Marmot Indicators, 2012

These estimates are derived from mid-2004 Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) population estimates by quinary age and sex. The estimates from LSOA populations we re-distributed using the 2001 census ward boundaries. 3. These estimated figures are not guaranteed to be accurate at this level of detail.

All ethnicities in Wirral including White British are shown in the table below, but the chart shows only ethnicities other than White British (due to the small numbers of people from other ethnic groups). In every ward in Wallasey constituency, the largest ethnic group was White Non-British. The ward with the largest number of White Non-British was New Brighton. Based on applications for New National Insurance Numbers over the last several years (see Wirral JSNA BME section for more details), it seems likely that a large percentage of the White Non-British group are from the EU Accession states (Eastern European countries such as Poland, Hungary etc..). The second largest category is Asian/Asian British which can be seen in the Seacombe ward of Wallasey Constituency.

Notes and Definitions

1. The mortality data used in the calculations were deaths registered in each year from 2007-2011. Five years of data were aggregated to provide a reasonable number of deaths for each ward. The ward populations used in the calculations are ONS ward populations. These ward populations are classed as “experimental statistics”. 2. Life expectancy at birth indicates the number of years a baby born in an area can expect to live if they experience the mortality rates of that area for the whole of their life. It is not a guide to the remaining expectation of life at a later age, e.g. if life expectancy at birth in a particular ward is 80 years, it does not follow that people aged 70 living in that ward can expect to live for a further 10 years.

Notes and Definitions

1. The National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) measures the weight and height of children in reception class (aged 4 to 5 years) and year 6 (aged 10 to 11 years) to assess overweight children and obese levels within primary schools 2. Children's heights and weights are measured and used to calculate a Body Mass Index (BMI) centile 3. Defining children as overweight or obese is a complex process, given that their height and weight change at the same time. An individual's BMI is calculated by dividing their weight (expressed in kilograms) by the square of their height (expressed in metres). 4. The method of assigning a BMI classification is different for children and adults

The table above shows the number of carers known to social services. In Wallasey constituency the number recorded as ‘Informal or Principle Carer’ is 1,688. Anecdotal evidence suggests this is an underestimated figure and not all carers are registered or in receipt of some form of service.

According to the Census (2011), 40,340 people in Wirral identified themselves as a carer, so it is clear that the large majority of those caring are not known to services.

As of August 2012, 4,800 Wirral people were claiming Carer’s Allowance (NOMIS, 2013). These figures mean that around one in eight of all carers in Wirral are known to services and/or claiming Carers Allowance

Notes and Definitions

1. The term carer is those identified and recorded on the database with a current role of “Informal/Principal Carer” 2. The numbers are correct at the time of extraction (August 2013)

Notes and Definitions

1. Standardised Mortality Ratios (SMR) is a way of comparing death rates in a particular area with those in the national population. The SMR for England in 2009-11 is 100, so an area with SMR of 120 is said to have a mortality rate 20% higher than the national average (after taking account of differences in the age structure of the two populations). 2. 95% Confidence Intervals indicate the range within which the true value of SMR falls, e.g. a 95% CI for Wirral of 93.5 to 113.2 means that we can be 95% certain that the SMR lies somewhere between of 93.5 and 113.2.
