Leominster South ward profile How to use this profile This profile is intended to be a single source of useful information and statistics about a ward and the areas within it. Used with other knowledge and intelligence, it will help users' understanding of the community. Uses of this evidence include strategies, funding bids, business plans, school projects. It includes statistics for a wide range of topics, grouped into three broad themes: People – including age profile, health and social care, employment, education Community and relationships – including ethnicity, make-up of households, democratic participation Place – including homes, the environment, physical assets and facilities Quick facts 24.8 square kilometres 9.6 square miles Hamlets and Isolated Dwellings (urban/rural classification) 3,100 residents 19% 57% people aged under 16s 16-64 25% 2% people aged people aged 65+ 85+ 1,430 1,600 households* dwellings** * One or more people who share cooking facilities and a living / sitting room or dining area ** A building or structure that can be lived in The data comes from different sources and dates, which were the most relevant and up-to-date available at the time of production (April 2019), but may not always be. See the reference list at the end for original sources if you need to make sure you have the latest data. Ward profiles form part of our joint strategic needs assessment of the health and well-being of Herefordshire’s people and places.

They were designed by the Office for National Statistics so that statistics produced for small areas wouldn't be affected by ward and parish boundary changes. This profile includes statistics for the LSOAs with at least 5% of their addresses in the ward. Ward-level only is given if LSOA data isn't available or numbers are too small. Where an LSOA is split between two or more wards it is included in the profile for each ward. Unless otherwise specified, estimates for these split LSOAs have been calculated by dividing them between the wards based on the proportion of addresses in each. Parishes are well known community areas, but there aren't many official statistics for them. In rural Herefordshire, parishes fit within wards and often (but not always) they share boundaries with LSOAs. In contrast, the city and town parishes of Hereford, Leominster, Ross and Ledbury are bigger than wards. The map and table show the LSOAs and parishes in this ward, and how they relate to each other.

Levels of deprivation for the individual domains are included in relevant sections throughout the profile. About quintiles: LSOAs are sorted by deprivation rank, then divided into five equal groups. The 1st quintile equates to the 20% most deprived; the 5th equates to the 20% least deprived. the 10% and 25% most/least deprived are also commonly referred to, so these are also included in the description for LSOAs where relevant. Population distribution by deprivation quintile This table shows the proportion of the ward's population in each of the five deprivation quintiles, based on the 2017 population of LSOAs. The Herefordshire figures give a comparison for the national context. For example, 8% of Herefordshire's population live in LSOAs which are classified as being amongst the 20% most deprived in England. National context* Local context^ % of population in each deprivation % of ward population in quintile for each deprivation quintile this ward Herefordshire 1st quintile (20% most deprived) 52% 52% 8% 2nd quintile (20-40% most deprived) 0% 0% 23% 3rd quintile (average deprivation) 48% 48% 44% 4th quintile (20-40% least deprived 0% 0% 19% 5th quintile (20% least deprived) 0% 0% 7% Note that the table above uses LSOA population data 'best-fitted' to the ward. So any LSOAs which are only partly in the ward may not be included. This may result in discrepancies with the table below. 2015 index of multiple deprivation position for each LSOA in the ward Level of deprivation compared to LSOA the rest of Herefordshire the rest of England (local context)^ (national context)* One of 25% most deprived (2nd Eardishill (part) 25-40% most deprived (2nd quintile) quintile) Leominster - Castlefields & Ru (part) 25-40% least deprived (4th quintile) Average deprivation (3rd quintile) One of 10% most deprived (1st Leominster - Gateway (part) One of 20% most deprived (1st quintile) quintile) Leominster - Ryelands Average deprivation (3rd quintile) Average deprivation (3rd quintile) One of 10% most deprived (1st Leominster Grange (part) One of 20% most deprived (1st quintile) quintile) * The national context ranks an LSOA compared to all 32,844 LSOAs in England. It's useful for national or regional funding bids. ^ The local context uses the rank compared to the 116 LSOAs in Herefordshire. It's useful for understanding differences and where to target resources within the county.
