The community segmentation classifications have been developed by Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service and are broken down to Output Area (OA) level, within Park there are 39 OA’s

The most prominent classification in Park is “Wealthy Over 50’s in Semi-Rural Locations” this category accounts for 61.5% (24 of 39) OA’s. Residents living in these areas are described as: Wealthy older population, in particular a larger 75+ population, who are likely to live in privately owned, high value detached properties. Life expectancy is high and there are good levels of general health, and low levels of health inequality, as a result obesity rates and emergency admissions to hospital are low. Within these areas benefits needs are generally low, however there may be a need for disability related benefits. As a result of the relative wealth in these areas fuel poverty is low and levels of poor housing are also low. Crime and accidental fires are also low in these areas. Residents in these areas are less likely to participate in sport, however, activities such as golf and bowls appeal. Improving access to facilities is likely to increase participation. Residents are also likely to be willing to volunteer within the community.

A further 23% (9) of OA’s fall into the classification “Average Income, Older Residents”. This category shares a number of the traits of the above classification, although housing is more likely to be privately owned semi detached properties. Levels of poor health are likely to be a little higher than the above category, although generally health remains good. As with the above category levels of crime are likely to be low, however what crime there is, is probably linked to anti-social behaviour.
