Wolvercote ward profile - 2011 Census

Summary Geography This profile summarises the characteristics of Wolvercote ward in the north of Oxford. The ward area, which includes Lower & Upper Wolvercote and Cutteslowe Park, is shown to the right.

In 2011 Wolvercote ward had 5,847 residents living in 2,593 households. It also had 19 residents living in communal establishments. There was very little population growth over the previous decade.

The ward has a relatively old age profile, with nearly half its residents aged over 45 years in 2011. It has relatively few full-time students. It is not as ethnically diverse as the rest of the city - 74% of residents identified themselves as White British compared to 64% Oxford average. There was also much less change over the decade than other parts of the city. Most residents born outside the UK had first arrived in the country over a decade earlier.

Residents tend to be well-qualified - 58% of adults have a degree-level qualification - and 57% work in managerial or professional occupations. GCSE attainment of children in state schools is above the Oxford average.

67% of households own their home and 30% live in detached houses. The amount of private rented housing has increased over the decade. There are a larger than average number of 1 and 2 person households, and a high rate of household underoccupation.

Rates of working age benefit claims are below the Oxford average, as are rates of poverty. © Crown Copyright and database right 2011. Ordnance Survey 100019348.
