  • The Leys Profile - 2011 Census
    The Leys profile - 2011 Census Summary Geography This profile summarises the characteristics of the population in the Leys, as recorded by the 2011 Census. The area which this covers is shown in the map opposite, which is a combination of Blackbird Leys and Northfield Brook wards. The Leys is an estate on the southern edge of Oxford’s boundary, to the south of Cowley and outside the ring road. The larger part of the Leys estate – Blackbird Leys - was built in the 1950s and 1960s as part of the post-war efforts to improve housing conditions in the city. Greater Leys which forms the southern part of the estate was built in the mid-1990s. In 2011 the Leys had 13,100 residents, and has been an area of relatively low population growth over the last decade. 30% of the Leys' residents are aged under 18 years, and another 31% are young adults aged 25 to 44 years. There were 5,100 households living in the Leys in 2011, nearly one in five of which were headed by lone parents, over double the city average. Like other areas of the city, the Leys has seen an increase in ethnic diversity - 33% of residents were from a non-White British ethnic group, compared to 18% in 2001. The Leys has a notably large proportion of residents from Black ethnic groups - 12% of the population compared to the 5% city average. Historically the Leys was built as a social housing estate, and 50% of households still rent their home from the council or a housing association.

  • Blackbird Leys Field-Names
    Hidden landscapes of Blackbird Leys – circular walk Discover the ancient natural landscape of Blackbird Leys through its place-names and old field-names Katie Hambrook This walk uses place-names and field-names to reconstruct the Anglo-Saxon and Medieval landscapes of Blackbird Leys, introducing you to the earliest named inhabitants of the area. The walk is about 3km long, taking about an hour and starting near the Sandy Lane West bus stop on Blackbird Leys Road. Blackbird Leys was originally part of the township of Littlemore, which extended from the Thames in the west to the eastern edge of Blackbird Leys; it bordered the parishes of Iffley and Cowley to the north, and Sandford to the south. From the Middle Ages until Enclosure in 1819 there were five great open fields that made up the arable fields of Littlemore – where crops were grown. These open fields were divided into sections called furlongs and people would have had their land in separate strips distributed in various furlongs around Littlemore. This walk looks at the old names of these fields and furlongs, as well as the names of meadows, pastures, springs and streams, helping you see Blackbird Leys through the eyes of its past inhabitants.
