Spatial Outline

The area of Kilburn, Denby and Holbrook is located to the south of Borough. The area, which is made up off three civil parishes, adjoins the district of Erewash and is approximately 5miles north of and 12miles east of Nottingham. The area is linked to several communication corridors including the A38, A61 and the A609 all of which provide useful connections to other parts of the region and country. The area is noted for its framework knitting, pottery and coal mining industrial heritage, elements of which are still evident. Its housing market has grown significantly (approximately 20%) over the past two decades, which could be attributed to its emerging status as a commuter settlement for surrounding towns and the City of Derby.

There are two calculations above identifying the average annual income for the residents of Kilburn Denby and Holbrook.

Mean Income- The mean is the most common measure of average. Mode- The mode is the number, which occurs most often in a set of data. There can be more than one mode. It can be seen that average household incomes increased by 5.3% from 2008-2013 to £34,598, which is slightly above the Borough average. However the modal income has reduced which means that more people are earning less than they were in 2013. Economic Activity: The 2011 Census showed that economic activity in the area was 74% which is higher than the Borough average of 70%.
