context_page_description: Peover Superior is a civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire East and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. It is described by the Office for National Statistics as a village surrounded by inhabited countryside. The civil parish includes the village of Over Peover and the hamlet of Peover Heath.
  Peover Superior is named after The Peover Eye river, which forms one of the parish boundaries. There is also a nearby village named Peover Inferior; the two areas are so named due to their standing on the river, with Peover Superior being higher up and Peover Inferior lower down on the river.
context_section_description: The figures used in the two bar charts came from the Neighborhood Statistics Census Data.
  The occupational history of Peover Superior has seen drastic changes; according to the 1881 statistics it was a predominantly agricultural parish with a large number both of men and of women employed in this sector, who would have been working on farms and other agricultural work.
  Since then the structure of occupation has changed immensely. The 2011 data shows a much more varied occupational structure, with a shift away from the predominantly agricultural based work seen in 1881. This mirrors trends all across the country; the amount of agricultural work has decreased and the number of people working in the service industry has risen sharply. There has also been a sharp increase in the number of professional people living in Peover Superior.
