The community segmentation classifications have been developed by Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service and are broken down to Output Area (OA) level, within Harington there are 40 OA’s

The most prominent classification in Harington is “Wealthy Over 50’s in Semi-Rural Locations” this category accounts for 85% (34 of 40) OA’s. Residents living in these areas are described as: Wealthy older population, in particular a larger 75+ population, who are likely to live in privately owned, high value detached properties. Life expectancy is high and there are good levels of general health, and low levels of health inequality, as a result obesity rates and emergency admissions to hospital are low. Within these areas benefits needs are generally low, however there may be a need for disability related benefits. As a result of the relative wealth in these areas fuel poverty is low and levels of poor housing are also low. Crime and accidental fires are also low in these areas. Residents in these areas are less likely to participate in sport, however, activities such as golf and bowls appeal. Improving access to facilities is likely to increase participation. Residents are also likely to be willing to volunteer within the community.

The remaining OA’s are classified as being Older Retirees and share many of the characteristics of the above group.
