The report included the following points about North West Leicestershire District: „„ Different settlements in North West Leicestershire have very different overall characteristics, with a fairly distinctive division of wealth – Ashby de la Zouch attracts wealthier households while Coalville houses more blue collar households. The majority of the district is rural. „„ All settlements in North West Leicestershire are popular among families, and Ashby de la Zouch in particular is popular among ‘wealthy executives’. There is also a large elderly population across the district. „„ The majority of households in North West Leicestershire are White British. There is no dominant ethnic minority group. „„ Though detached housing is the most common property type overall in the district, there is a concentrated patch of terraced housing in Coalville as well as a significant number of flats. There is very little privately rented accommodation. „„ Two bedroom flats have been competing in price with two bed houses in North West Leicestershire, though their price is far less stable. There is a very large discrepancy (around £70,000) between the entry level for three and four bed houses. „„ Prices are lower around the more urban areas, particularly Coalville and Ibstock. There is also a low average in Castle Donington which appears to have less of an influence on the price of properties in the nearby rural area.
