Industrial Families.”
These would have been traditional blue-collar areas but with the decline
of heavy industry, people are quite likely to work in office or clerical jobs and in shops. Most
households are traditional families with school age children.
Group M “Blue Collar Roots”
are
communities where most employment is in traditional blue collar occupations. Families and
retired people predominate with some young singles and single parents.
Category Five -
“Hard Pressed”
This is made up of four categories. Group N; “Struggling Families”
are low income families
living on traditional low-rise estates. Some have bought their council houses but most
continue to rent.
Group O; “Burdened Singles” is an
urban group that is characterised by
high numbers of single adults. These include single pensioners, young singles and lone
parents.
Group P; “High Rise Hardship” are c
ommunities which have very high numbers of
older residents, especially over 65s. There are very few traditional families and middle aged
people. There are also fewer children in this group overall, although some areas contain high
numbers of single parents with children under 5.
Group Q is “Inner City Adversity” and these
are densely populated urban areas with a young multi-ethnic population. Households are
typically young singles and young families, often single parent.
