Boundary: May 2026. Census and crime records have different dates and purposes.
What makes this ward different?
Homes rented from a council or housing association: 17% here, compared with 22% across Stoke-on-Trent (5.2 percentage points lower).
The share of social housing describes the homes already here. It does not show the current waiting list or whether enough suitable homes are available.
21 March 2021 · ward and council use the same source, measure and date.
Why this comparison is valid
The difference is in percentage points. The wider figure is the published council total, not the average of its wards. Differences describe groups, not every resident.
Homes rented privately: 23% here, compared with 20% across Stoke-on-Trent (2.6 percentage points higher).
A larger private-rented sector changes the mix of housing advice, enforcement and tenant support needed. It does not tell us whether individual homes are affordable or safe.

Formal qualifications are only one part of someone's skills. Training decisions also need current vacancies, employment and residents' experience.

What these numbers include
Approximate published locations, not every crime or personal risk.
Anti-social behaviour is separate. Transport police and records without usable locations are excluded.
Do not compare directly with Scottish council-level recorded crime totals.
These are retrieved mapped records, not a guarantee of complete crime reporting. Approximate locations and unmapped incidents limit comparisons.
Missing ward-months invalidate totals and changes. Busy centres attract visitors, so residential population is not a measure of the number of people exposed.
