  • Charnwood District Profile
    CHARNWOOD DISTRICT PROFILE JANUARY 2010 JSNA District Level Report JSNA findings for Charnwood 1. Demography In 2007 there were an estimated 164,800 people resident in Charnwood. 86% of the population is white British, 3% is white other Charnwood is more affected by socio-economic deprivation than Leicestershire as a whole with 2.8% of the population living in neighbourhoods that have been classified as the most deprived nationally. Whilst this is higher than the value for Leicestershire it is well below the national average of 20% of people. Priority Neighbourhoods Charnwood has four priority neighbourhoods. These are Loughborough East, Loughborough West, Mountsorrel and Charnwood South. Maps of the priority neighbourhoods are available on the Leicestershire Statistics and Research Online website: http://www.lsr-online.org/reports/leicestershire_laa_priority_neighbourhoods 2. Housing and accommodation needs Charnwood has a large student population combined with generally wealthier families. Loughborough and Shepshed are less affluent and smaller. The majority of the district is rural, with larger diverse urban settlements. The majority of households in Charnwood are White British, however there is a considerable proportion of Indian and strong Bangladeshi communities in Loughborough. Owner occupied 3 bed semi detached housing is the most common type in Charnwood. There is a notably large patch of private housing in the centre of Loughborough that is probably related to the student population. Student numbers in Loughborough are highly significant and the University is working with Charnwood Borough Council towards managing the need for student housing and the prevention of ‘studentification’. Property prices have risen fairly steeply overall in the last 5 years and the increase in price has not yet been significantly affected by wider market fluctuations.
