The partnerships allow people to have a say on services, and give organisations the chance to speak directly with local communities. Figures quoted are derived from the Census Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) geography through a process of aggregation and estimation as LSOA boundaries do not fully match AAP boundaries. Background Situated to the east of the county and on the East Coast, the East Durham AAP stretches from Seaham in the north to Blackhall Colliery in the south. The AAP is centred on the major centre of Peterlee and is bordered by Hartlepool to the south, Sunderland to the north and by the other AAPs of: • Durham • East Durham Rural Over half of East Durham’s population of 93,500 live in areas designated as ‘urban’ in nature. Covering an area of over 14,200 hectares (55.1 sq. miles), the AAP has a population density of 6.6 (people/hectare), which is nearly three times that of the county (2.3). East Durham AAP occupies a strategic location between the North East’s two city regions, the A19 trunk road forms the main route through the area linking it to the conurbations of Tyne & Wear in the north and Tees Valley in the south. The area comprises a mixture of urban and rural areas in the heart of the former coalfield. There are two major centres, Peterlee and Seaham, with a population of around 27,500 and 24,100 respectively. There are also a number of large former colliery and smaller, more traditional villages, in scenic rural settings. The 11 miles of largely undeveloped coastline consist of distinct headlands and bays, with sandy beaches to the north of Seaham and at Crimdon in the south. Since the 1970s the area has witnessed a period of major economic restructuring with the decline of coal mining. Easington’s last colliery closed in 1993 but also textiles, manufacturing and heavy engineering have all experienced a decline. According to the 1981 Census 53% of all males jobs in East Durham were in coal mining. These pit closures devastated the local community in terms of unemployment and the loss of the social fabric that had held the community together for over one hundred years.

The indicators are presented for principal geographies used by Durham County Council and its partners for service provision and administration within County Durham. These principal geographies are: Geography Number of Areas Clinical Commissioning Groups 2 Clinical Commissioning Localities 6 Strategic Partnership Areas 5 Major Centres 12 Area Action Partnerships 14 Electoral Divisions 63 Figures for the Partnerships Areas, Clinical Commissioning area and Major Centres are derived from aggregation of the Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) Census geography. (In 2001 there were 320 LSOAs rising to 324 LSOAs in 2011). Further details on this geography are available from the Office for National Statistics website, (link given below). Figures for Area Action Partnerships derived from a combination of aggregation and estimation through a best fit process, as they are not completely co-terminus with LSOAs boundaries. Therefore figures for these areas should be considered as estimations only. The indicators are grouped into 5 themes plus an introductory population section and a section on the Index of Deprivation, presented on separate worksheets which can be printed off as hand-outs. Index of Deprivation (9 pages) The 5 People and Place (10 Pages) themes are: Wealthier: Focusing on creating a vibrant economy and putting (20 Pages) regeneration and economic development at the heart of all our plans Children & YP: Enabling children and young people to develop and achieve (5 Pages) their aspirations and to maximise their potential in line with Every Child Matters Healthier: Improving health and wellbeing (10 Pages) Safer: Creating a safer and more cohesive county (3 Pages) Greener: Ensuring an attractive and 'liveable' local environment, and (3 Pages) contributing to tackling global environment challenges Research and Consultation Team Assistant Chief Executives Office Durham County Council Tel. 03000 268032 Email: [email protected] Web: www.durham.gov.uk/stats 3 of 65 Sub-county Statistical Profile Summary Sheets Area_Action_Partnerships East Durham AAP Useful Links: Durham County Council Statistics: http://www.durham.gov.uk/stats Office for National Statistics: http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/index.html Neighbourhood Statistics: http://neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk NOMISWEB: http://www.nomisweb.co.uk/ Updates Indicator (Source) Latest Data Population change (ONS mid-year estimates) 2015 Population Structure (ONS mid-year estimates) 2015 Dependency ratios (ONS mid-year estimates) 2015 Ethnicity (2011 Census) 2011 Religion (2011 Census) 2011 Occupied households (2011 Census) 2011 Index of Deprivation 2015 Qualifications (2011 Census) 2011 Students in Higher Education Institutions (Higher Education Statistics 2013/14 Agency) Business Enterprises (Uk Business Counts - NOMIS) 2016 Retail Unit Occupancy Rates (DCC) 2013 Average House Prices (ONS Experimental House Price Index) 2014 Fuel Poverty (Department for Energy and Climate Change) 2014 Housing Benefit (Department for Works and Pensions) November 2016 Worklessness (Department for Works and Pensions) August 2016 Claimant Count - Working Age (ONS/Job Centre Plus) March 2017 Claimant Count - Young People (ONS/Job Centre Plus) March 2017 Job Seekers Allowance - Long Term Claimants (ONS/Job Centre Plus) March 2017 Research and Consultation Team Assistant Chief Executives Office Durham County Council Tel. 03000 268032 Email: [email protected] Web: www.durham.gov.uk/stats 4 of 65 Sub-county Statistical Profile Summary Sheets Area_Action_Partnerships East Durham AAP Updates - continued Indicator (Source) Latest Data Jobs - BRES 2015 Employment (2011 Census) 2011 Average Weekly Income - ONS model-based small
