Introduction 1.1 Purpose of this report This purpose is produced to assist the development of the MyClubmoor Big Local programme. The report provides an overview of the Clubmoor ward as it currently stands. In this way it provides a ‘baseline’ from which progress can be measured over the next ten years. The report does not stand-alone. It is intended to supplement and add statistical evidence to the opinions and perceptions of local residents, in order to provide an accurate picture of what Clubmoor is really like. The first part of this report focuses on what the existing empirical evidence tells us about the population of Clubmoor ward and the issues it faces. The remainder of the report details the range of community facilities, organisations and resources that already exist in the ward and that might be said to form the foundations on which the Community should look to build. The document is intended to be organic – that is to constantly evolve as things change within Clubmoor itself. 1.2 Summary overview of the Clubmoor Ward From the evidence provided in this report, the following overview can be drawn There have been some considerable improvements in educational attainment and in community safety over recent years. High levels of social home ownership (the highest in Liverpool) is likely to mean that the majority housing stock will meet good standards, and that the tenants will be able to access support services. Despite this, the ward population has fallen by 0.3% over the past ten years – a period when Liverpool’s population has grown by 0.8%. Clubmoor is one of the most deprived wards in Liverpoool, ranking 6th most deprived of Liverpool’s 30 wards in the 2010 Indices of Multiple Deprivation, with Liverpool itself being defined as the most deprived local authority in the UK. Striking ‘mosiac’ data shows that the vast majority of households in the ward can be defined as “families in low-rise social housing with high levels of benefit need”. 43% of children living in Clubmoor ward are classed as living in poverty. Deprivation levels are principally driven by high levels of worklessness. At 8.1% unemployment, the ward is almost twice the national average. Worklessness related to poor health is a particular issue in Clubmoor ward, with 15.8% of the wards working age population claiming Employment Support Allowance / Incapacity Benefit, again twice the national average. These figures suggest that Clubmoor people will be particularly vulnerable to forthcoming benefit changes. In addition to lack of employment, deprivation levels are also driven by low income. In 2012, average household income for Clubmoor was £22,871 and declined by 6.6% (£1,624) from a 3 year earlier. This is considerably below the Liverpool average (£29,285) and even further behind the national average of 33,871. Measures of income support are substantially higher in Liverpool than the rest of the Liverpool. Despite the entire ward being defined as deprived – there are some particular concentrations of note: the highest concentration is found in the Daneville area, with a smaller and less intense concentration in and around Roscoe School. Anti-social behaviour rates in Clubmoor are significantly higher than the city-wide average (75.7 incidents per 1,000 population compared with a Liverpool rate of 55.3 per 1,000). However, anti-social behaviour rates have fallen significantly in the last year. Local area data is difficult to access on qualifications, but anecdotally evidence would suggest workforce qualification levels in Clubmoor ward are similar to the overall Liverpool picture and therefore some way below levels in the rest of Great Britain. A key factor in impacting on peoples’ quality of life and in particular their ability to work is poor health. Clubmoor’s mortality rate is Mortality Rate is significantly higher than both the national and city-wide averages. The Clubmoor rate of prevalence of Bronchitis, Emphysema and other Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is three times the national average. Almost a quarter (23.8%) of Clubmoor residents are classed as obese. This is the highest rate of all Liverpool wards and one and a half times the national rate. Smoking prevalence in the ward is above the city average, while fruit and vegetable consumption is low. The ward suffers from high levels of debt – with Clubmoor amongst Liverpool’s poorest performing wards for rent arrears. 4 Clubmoor Ward Map 5 2. Population Clubmoor ward’s 2010 estimated population was 15,766. This is 3.5% of Liverpool’s total population of 445,229. 2.1 Population Change The ward’s population has declined by 0.3% (44 residents) since 2002. By comparison the city’s overall population has increased by 0.8% over the same period. The populations of most neighbourhoods within the ward have changed relatively little since 2002. The two exceptions are the Broadway Market/ Parkhurst Road area – which has lost between 400 and 1,000 residents over the period - and the Walton Hall Avenue/ Stopgate Lane area – in which the population has increased by 400-1000 people since 2002. It must be noted that only part of both of these areas are located in the ward.

Almost 3,000 children live in Clubmoor, which is some 18.6% of the resident population. Of these there are just over 900 children are aged 4 or less. 6 Just over 2,600 residents are of pensionable age. This is one in six (16.5%) of Clubmoor’s population. Half of the ward’s residents of pensionable age are aged 75 years and over, equating to some 1,276 residents. Clubmoor’s age structure is similar to the Great Britain average. In comparison to the rest of Liverpool, significantly fewer residents living in the ward are young adults (16- 39 years) – a trend that reflects Liverpool’s large student population. By contrast a greater proportion of Clubmoor’s population than the Liverpool average are young people (5-18 years), older working age people (40-64 years) and pensioners (65 years and over). 2010 Population by Broad Age Group Clubmoor % of % of Ward Clubmoor Liverpool Age Group Population Population Population 0-15 2,937 18.6 16.8 Of which population aged 0-4 910 5.8 5.8 16-39 5156 32.7 38.9 Of which aged16-18 689 0.0 3.6 40-64 5067 32.1 30.1 65 and over 2606 16.5 14.2 Of which aged75 and over 1276 8.1 6.8 Total Population 15766 100 100 Source: Office for National Statistics Mid-Year Population Estimates, 2010. 2010 Population Structure by Broad Age Group 6000 32.7% 32.1% 5000 4000 3000 12.8% 2000 8.4% 8.1% 5.8% 1000 0 0-4 5 to 15 16-39 40-64 65-74 75 and over Source: Office for National Statistics Mid-Year Population Estimates, 2010. 7 2010 Population Structure in Clubmoor Compared with Liverpool 38.9 40 35 32.7 32.1 30.1 30 25 20 12.8 15 11.0 % of Population 8.4 8.1 6.8 10 7.4 5.8 5.8 5 0 0-4 5 to 15 16-39 40-64 65-74 75+ Clubmoor Liverpool Source: Office for National Statistics Mid-Year Population Estimates, 2010. 2010 Clubmoor Population Structure Compared with Great Britain 33.0 35 32.7 31.8 32.1 30 25 20 12.8 12.4 15 8.7 8.4 8.1 7.9 % of Population 10 5.8 6.2 5 0 0-4 5 to 15 16-39 40-64 65-74 75+ Clubmoor Great Britain Source: Office for National Statistics Mid-Year Population Estimates, 2010. 2.3 Gender There are slightly higher proportions of females (51.5%, 8116 people) than males (48.5%, 7,650) in the ward.
