Population 9 Index of Deprivation 2010 16 I have pleasure in welcoming you to the latest edition of the popular Dorset Databook. Over the years this comprehensive compendium of Dorset-related statistics has become greatly valued, Health 20 not only by elected members and officers of the County Council, but also by many of our Housing 25 partner organisations. Districts & Parishes 28 Once more the 2011 Databook collects together a range of information drawn from numerous Employment 30 sources into one compact publication enabling access to consistent data and statistics by a Retailing/Commercial Floorspace 38 variety of users. Social Care 39 Colleagues often tell me how useful they find the Databook and I am sure the 2011 volume will Education 40 not disappoint. Whilst the presentation of annually updated statistics remains the mainstay of the Service Information: Library and Archives 42 book, the inclusion of a section highlighting deprivation hotspots in Dorset in this edition is one example of how the Databook also highlights less frequent but important data releases. Community Safety 43 Transport 46 For 2011 we have made the Databook available only as a digital publication. However, the publication has been designed in such a way as to allow readers who prefer to use hardcopy Recycling and Waste 48 information to be able to print some, or all, of its pages in an accessible and readable format. Recycling/Minerals and Waste 50 Whichever form you prefer I’m sure you will find this year’s Dorset Databook a valuable resource.
