This was an artefact of the disclosure control procedure used to prevent results from inadvertently allowing the identification of individuals or households. This led to some tables with the same base population, but different details, having totals with small differences between them. There is no such issue with the results of the 2011 Census where totals will exactly match between tables, but comparisons with 2001 will depend on which table is the source of the older figures. All the figures quoted in this document will have their sources indicated.

5: Housing and Household Characteristics

5·1: Tenure The 2011 Census recorded some Figure 5.1: Percentage change in tenure dramatic changes in the tenure composition type from 2001 to 2011 in Brent between 2001 and 2011 (Table 5.1). At the time of the 2011 Census, there were 110,286 households, an increase of 10% over the 2001 figure of 99,9911. There was a noticeable trend from “Owned” to “Rented” tenure over the decade (Figure 5.1), and further trends were apparent within these tenure types. “Owned” households now make up 44% of the borough’s tenure, down from 56% in 2001. This is well below the Outer London average of 60%. The number of “Owned” households decreased from 55,927 in 2001 to 48,960 in 2011, with “Owned: Shared” ownership the only category within “Owned” category showing any increase in real and percentage terms – from 1,435 in 2001 to 1,636 in 2011. These figures are dwarfed by the decrease of 6,419 in the number of “Owned: Owns with mortgage or loan” households. The number maintained by the increase in the number of of households “Owned: Owns outright” “Social rented: Other social rented” decreased by 749. households from 13,289 in 2001 to 15,905 in “Rented” households are divided into 2011. The percentage of “Social rented: two categories: “Social” and “Private Rented from Council (Local Authority)” at rented”. “Social rented” households make up 9.7% is the same as the Outer London one in four of the borough’s households, average, whilst the percentage of “Social retaining its share between the two rented: Other social rented” at 14% is far censuses.

Youth unemployment (“Unemployed: Age 16 to 24”) increased by nearly a third from 2001 to 2011, an increase of 644 persons to 2,691 persons in 2011 (Table 6.1), and is comparable to the Outer London average of 1.2%2. The unemployed from age 50 to 74 increased by over a half to 1% of the borough’s population in 2011, comparable with the Outer London average. The number of individuals in the “Unemployed: Never worked” class doubled to 1.4% of the borough’s population in 2011, greater than the Outer London average (1%).

8: Transportation and Car Ownership

8·1: Car or van availability There has been a near 10% reduction in Figure 8.1: Percentage of households with the average number of cars or vans to 0.8 their car and van ownership in 2001 per household from 2001 to 2011, the second and 2011 lowest in Outer London1. This reduction has occurred through a 27% increase in the number car free households, from 37,287 in 2001 to 47,419 in 2011. These households now make up over 2 in 5 of all borough households (Table 8.1) – the highest proportion in Outer London. There has also been a decrease of 8% in the number of households with 2 or more cars or vans, from 16,207 households in 2001 to 14,884 in 2011. There has been an increase in the number of households with both 3 and 4 or more cars or vans – by 9% and 26% respectively. These households still make up a small percentage of the borough’s households at 3% and 0.9% respectively (Figure 8.1).

There was a 40% increase in the number of residents who felt that their health was 9·1: Health limiting day-to-day good based on the 2001 definition2, activities increasing from 70% of the population in 2001 There was a small decrease in the to 83% in 2011. percentage of the borough’s residents who For 2011 this category of health was split felt that their day-to-day activities were into “Very good health” and “Good health”, limited, from 15.6% in 2001 to 14.4% in 2011 with percentages of 48 and 35 respectively, (Table 9.1). Of these, 7.0% felt that their which are at or near the Outer London Day-to-day activities were limited a lot, average. slightly higher than the Outer London 2 average (6.8%). By combining the two descriptions of "Very good health" and "Good health" from 2011 we 1 2001 KS008 allow comparison with the single "Good health" 2001 KS301EW description from 2001.

9·3: Provision of unpaid care The provision of unpaid care is divided Figure 9.1: Number of residents providing into three categories, depending on the unpaid care, categorised by hours number of hours provided. 8.6% of the borough’s residents provide some form of unpaid care, slightly lower than the Outer London average of 9.2%, and the same percentage of the population as in 2001. As Brent has experienced a large population growth over the decade, this does mean that an additional 1,600 people are providing care of 20 to 49 hours a week, and 1,312 more people are providing care of 50 or more hours a week (Figure 9.1). Some 26,600 residents of the borough provide care of more than 1 hour per week.
