Background
The Durham City Major Centre ‘urban’ in nature with a population of 50,400 . Covering an area of
over 3,700 hectares (14.4 sq. miles), with a population density of 12.9 (people/hectare), which is
nearly six times that of the county (2.3).
The major centre has a UNESCO World Heritage cathedral and castle, university and surrounding
villages. The city is based around the River Wear which meanders through an incised valley as it
flows north with steeply wooded banks on the peninsula creating a picturesque setting that is enjoyed
by many thousands of visitors every year. Main transport arteries include the A1(M) and London-
Edinburgh East Coast railway with an important station and, arguably,
the finest view in the country.
The city centre has a retail heart around the historic market place and the cobbled, narrow streets
add to its distinctiveness. In the Millennium Square, the Gala Theatre, Clayport Library and many
restaurants/pubs have extended the cultural and night time economy. Beyond the city centre, the
area is rural, being a mixture of smaller settlements, farms, woods and natural land.

Major Centres: These boundaries are the 12 Major Centres in County Durham developed to aid
planning policy in the county. These boundaries use the Census LSOA (Lower Super Output Areas)
as a base. It is important to note that the area covered by each major centre will also include some
outlying areas surrounding the settlement and so the figures quoted for the major centre will be
higher than the settlement on its own.

The indicators are presented for principal geographies used by Durham County Council and its
partners for service provision and administration within County Durham. These principal geographies
are:
Figures for the Partnerships Areas, Clinical Commissioning area and Major Centres are derived from
aggregation of the Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) Census geography. (In 2001 there were 320
LSOAs rising to 324 LSOAs in 2011). Further details on this geography are available from the Office
for National Statistics website, (link given below).
Figures for Area Action Partnerships derived from a combination of aggregation and estimation
through a best fit process, as they are not completely co-terminus with LSOAs boundaries.
Therefore figures for these areas should be considered as estimations only.
The indicators are grouped into 5 themes plus an introductory population section and a section on
the Index of Deprivation, presented on separate worksheets which can be printed off as hand-outs.
To use the figures in other spreadsheets the user should first copy the required cells and then use

Deprivation
Deprivation by Geography: % population living in deprived areas
(Index of Deprivation 2015)
https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/e
nglish-indices-of-deprivation-2015
Since the 1970s the Department of Communities and Local Government and its predecessors have
calculated various local measures of deprivation in England. The increasing availability of
administrative data at local levels has driven developments in the definition and measurement of
deprivation. This release contains the latest version of these statistics, mainly from the period
2012/13 and form the English Indices of Deprivation 2015. It is important to note that these statistics
are a measure of relative deprivation, not affluence, and to recognise that not every person in a
highly deprived area will themselves be deprived. Equally, there will be some deprived people living in
the least deprived areas.
Deprivation covers a broad range of issues and refers to unmet needs caused by a lack of resources
of all kinds, not just financial. The English Indices of Deprivation attempt to measure a broader
concept of multiple deprivation, made up of several distinct dimensions, or domains, of deprivation.
The vast majority of data that underpin the 2015 indices reflect the period 2012/13 while the 2010
indices reflect data from 2008. Communities and Local Government undertook a review of statistical
outputs before deciding to release the ID 2015.

Deprivation Geography
The English Indices of Deprivation 2015 (ID2015) use 37 separate indicators (the 2010 Indices used
38), organised across seven distinct domains of deprivation which can be combined, using
appropriate weights, to calculate the Index of Multiple Deprivation 2015 (IMD 2015).
This is an overall measure of multiple deprivation experienced by people living in an area and is
calculated for every Lower layer Super Output Area (LSOA) in England (32,844 LSOAs). The ID2015
can be used to rank every LSOA in England according to their relative level of deprivation.
The seven distinct domains that have been identified in the English Indices of Deprivation are;
Income Deprivation, Employment Deprivation, Health and Disability Deprivation, Education Skills and
Training Deprivation, Barriers to Housing and Services, Living Environment Deprivation and Crime.
Two additional indices are also included in the ID2015 release, although they are not included in the
overall index. These indices are the Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) and the
Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index (IDAOPI) 2015 at Lower layer Super Output Area
(LSOA) level.
The ID2015, (along with the previous ID2010, ID2007 and ID2004), was constructed using the
Census Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) geography, (there were 32,884 LSOAs in England in 2011,
the previous ID's used the 2001 definition of 32,482 LSOAs). Within County Durham there are 324
LSOAs (Previously there were 320 LSOAs).
This means that it is not possible to provide national deprivation ranks for the geographies used in
this report. Instead figures quoted in this report estimate deprivation across the areas by measuring
the percentage of the county's population living in deprived LSOAs within the specified area using a
process of aggregation and estimation based upon LSOA populations.
In addition the areas are then ranked. For example there are five Partnership areas in County
Durham. These are ranked 1 to 5 with 1 having the largest population living in deprived areas and 5
having the least.

County Durham is now the 75th most deprived area out of 326 single and lower tier
local authorities in England (based on the rank of average score). This is 13 places
lower (improved) than in the previous IMD released in 2010 when the county was
ranked as the 62nd most deprived LA in England.
Within the region County Durham remains the most deprived local authority in terms of
both income and employment deprivation compared with the other 11 authorities in the
region (Table 1 below).
Nationally the majority (83 per cent) of neighbourhoods that are the most deprived
according to the 2015 Index of Multiple Deprivation were also the most deprived
according to the 2010 Index.
61 per cent of local authority districts contain at least one of the most deprived
neighbourhoods in England.
Middlesbrough, Knowsley, Kingston upon Hull, Liverpool and Manchester are the local
authorities with the highest proportions of neighbourhoods among the most deprived in
England.
The 20 most deprived local authorities are largely the same as found for the 2010
Index, but the London Boroughs of Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Newham and Haringey
have become relatively less deprived and no longer feature in this list.
The underlying data from the ID2015 indicates that in 2012/13 42.2% of the county’s
population lived in the top 30% most deprived areas. Within the sub-domains:
46.1% of the county’s population were experiencing income deprivation,
(an increase in relative income deprivation from 42.4% in the ID2010),
60.8% of the working age population (aged 18-59/64 – old definition)
were experiencing some form of employment deprivation, (an
improvement from 64.9% in the ID2010),
67.5% of the population were experiencing health deprivation, (an
improvement from 70.8% in the ID2010),
37.7% of the population were experiencing education deprivation, (an
improvement from 46.8% in the ID2010); all higher than the 30%
average across England.

Some LSOAs were either split or merged in the 2011 Census and so the graph above represents
only those LSOAs not amended in 2011.
County Durham is ranked as the most deprived local authority in the North East for
both the Income and Employment measure in the ID2015.

1. Ranks are based on the number of people who are income or employment deprived within a
specific local authority.
As can be seen from the table above, all North East local authorities have experienced
slight changes in their rankings. County Durham is the only one that has seen its
ranking for the income measure decline since 2007 and has seen the smallest
improvement in the employment measure. As these metrics reflect the number of
people who are income and employment deprived, (and not the proportion) County
Durham remains the most deprived local authority in the north east in terms of the
income and employment summary measures.
By dividing the LSOAs national rankings into 10 equal intervals it is possible to give an
indication of the distribution of deprived population in County Durham. The following
chart gives these results:

2. Retired is defined as those people aged 65 and over.
Figure 3a: Change in overall dependency ratio 2010 to 2015
North East
The dependency ratio compares how many people there are in the area who are assumed to be
working (that is people aged 16-64) against both the number of children aged 0-15 and those of
retirement age (65+).
A high dependency ratio implies that an area is suffering from the effects of its age structure, with
children and the elderly unable to contribute to service provision in the ways that those of working
age do, potentially putting pressure on local services such as schooling, health, and social care.
The Durham City MC had a lower overall dependency ratio than County Durham
indicating a higher number of people of working age in the area compared to the
number of children and retired people in the area when compared to the county
overall.

A household is said to be fuel poor if it needs to spend more than 10 per cent of its
income on fuel to maintain an adequate standard of warmth. This is usually defined as
21 degrees for the main living room and 18 degrees for other occupied rooms. Data is
available up to 2012.
19.6% of households in the Durham City MC were estimated to be in fuel poverty in
2012. This was higher than the average across the county (17.9%) and a 2.2% rise
since 2008.
New definition from 2011: Under the Low Income High Costs definition, a household is
considered to be fuel poor if:
12.6% of households in the Durham City MC were estimated to be in fuel poverty in
2014. This was higher than the average across the county (12.2%) and a 18.8% fall
since 2011.
they have required fuel costs that are above average (the national
median level) and,
were they to spend that amount, they would be left with a residual
income below the official poverty line.

Children and Young People
The figures quoted below for pupil attainment are estimates based upon the academic
achievement of pupils who live in the area. Therefore these figures will differ from
those normally quoted which are for academic achievement by pupils attending
schools in the county. Please note that some pupils attend schools outside their area
of residence and even schools outside of the county, in a few cases. Similarly some
pupils attending schools in the county do not reside in the county. North East and
England figures refer to ALL state funded schools.
The measure of KS2 attainment was altered during the academic year 2012/13 by
measuring reading, writing and grammar as separate elements of English, which was
the composite measure used prior to this year. Therefore only data from 2012/13 to
2014/15 are included in this report.
In 2014/15 89.1% of KS2 pupils living in the Durham City MC achieved level 4 or
above in Reading, Writing and Maths. This is higher than the 81.7% recorded across
County Durham and higher than the 83.2% recorded in 2012/13 in the area. (2014/15
North East= 82%, England= 81%)
In 2014/15 95.2% of KS2 pupils living in the Durham City MC achieved level 4 or

Figure 3a: Change in the percentage of the number of children aged 0-4 in families in poverty
2009 to 2014
(Children in families receiving Working Tax Credits and Child Tax Credits, and income <60%
median income)
This indicator provides data on the number/percentage of children living in families
either in receipt of out-of-work benefits or in receipt of tax credits with a reported
income which is less than 60 per cent of national median income. NB. Until 2013 this
indicator was known as Child Poverty (NI 116).
This measure provides a broad proxy for The Households Below Average Income
(HBAI) measure of national child poverty for small areas down to the LSOA level. The
HBAI measure is currently only available for local authorities and above.
The base population (denominator) for this percentage is the number of children living
in families claiming child benefit.
Children age 0 to 4
An estimated 305 children aged between 0 and 4 in families were in poverty in the
Durham City MC in 2014 representing 16.4% of young children in families claiming
child benefit in the area. This is lower than the 27.1% recorded across County Durham

DLA Claimants Rate2
Disability Living Allowance (DLA) is a tax-free benefit for disabled children and adults
to help with extra costs they may have because they are disabled. It is not based on
their disability but the needs arising from it. Data given here is for all age groups.
From April 2013 the government started a pilot in selected areas of the north-west and
north-east to replace DLA with the new Personal Independence Payments (PIPs) for
people aged 16 to 64 with full roll-out planned across great Britain from October 2015.
Further details on PIPs are given below.
In May 2016 3.1% (1,575 people) in the Durham City MC were claiming disability living
allowance, compared to 6.7% in the county, 6.1% in the region and 4.4% nationally.
This is a fall of 14.4% in the number of claimants since August 2013 compared to falls
of 15% in the county, 13% in the region and of 14.5% nationally.

Figure 2: Change in PIP claimants since April 2013 and February 2016
Personal Independence Payment (abbreviated PIP) is a welfare benefit in the United
Kingdom which is available to help with costs caused by a health condition or disability.
It is non-means-tested, non-contributory, and can be paid whether the recipient is
employed or not. PIP is based upon the effects of a condition on a person rather than
the condition itself.
PIP was introduced in 2013 by the Welfare Reform Act 2012 and replaces the
Disability Living Allowance (DLA) from 8 April 2013 for people aged 16 to 64 and is
being phased in over the following few years. PIP is to replace Disability Living
Allowance gradually, with initial pilots in selected areas of north-west and north-east
England which began in April 2013. A full roll-out across Great Britain was planned for
October 2015 but this roll out has been delayed, and ministers announced that the roll
out would happen 'more gradually' than originally planned.
Data is currently only available at the local authority area level and above.
Since it's introduction in April 2013 the number of working age people claiming PIPs in
County Durham has increased to 8,863 representing 2.7% of the 16 to 64 population,
(February 2016).
Within this age group 60.9% of claimants (6,335 people) were aged 40 to 64.

Deaths occurring before the age of 75. It is measured, for this indicator, by using the
European Age-Standardised mortality rate for people aged under 75.
The European Age-Standardised mortality rate is a weighted sum of age-specific
mortality rates and is used here to indicate the overall mortality rate. It follows a
standard methodology, which was updated in 2013, allowing for comparisons between
countries and over time.

Recorded (mapped) crimes in 2013/14



The figures reported here for the area and county are estimates from recorded
mapped (geo-coded) crimes/ASB incidents in County Durham. This does not
represent all reported incidents in the county as a small percentage do not contain
sufficient geographical information for them to be assigned to the ONS Census Lower
Super Output Area (LSOA) geography from which these estimates are then
calculated.
Additionally figures for County Durham refer to the local authority area and not the
County Durham Police Authority area which includes Darlington. Therefore rates
given in this document should not be compared with nationally published police
authority, regional and national datasets. Regional and national figures are supplied
for information purposes only and are for all recorded offences (excluding British
Transport Police data).
The estimated overall rate of recorded offences (geo-coded incidents only and
excluding fraud) in the Durham City MC was 50.3 crimes per 1,000 people in 2013/14,
which was higher than the 44.6 recorded offences in the area in 2012/13. (County
Durham rates were 44.1 in 2013/14 and 41 in 2012/13 respectively).
Victim based offences increased to 43.4 (offences/1000 population) in 2013/14 from
38.1 in 2012/13. (County Durham rates were 39.5 in 2013/14 and 36.4 in 2012/13
respectively).
Theft based offences increased to 26.6 (offences/1000 population) in 2013/14 from
24.9 in 2012/13. (County Durham rates were 20.8 in 2013/14 and 19.7 in 2012/13
respectively).

These figures represent the total number of Road traffic Accidents (RTAs) recorded in
County Durham between 2008 and 2013. Incidents have been aggregated up to the
LSOA geography and estimates then calculated for the various geographical areas in
the county (see introductory notes on page 1).
The road mileages used in this dataset were estimated from the Ordinance Survey
OSCAR road coverage which covers all types of roads in the county from motorway to

Anti Social Behaviour (ASB): Environmental Incidents (Durham
Constabulary; ONS PFA tables)
Recorded ASB Environmental Incidents (estimates) - 2012/13 and 2013/14
The figures reported here for the area and county are estimates from recorded
mapped (geo-coded) ASB Environmental incidents in County Durham (they are also
displayed in the 'Safer' sheet as a part of total ASB). This does not represent all
reported environmental incidents in the county as a small percentage do not contain
sufficient geographical information for them to be assigned to the ONS Census Lower
Super Output Area (LSOA) geography from which these estimates are then
calculated.
Additionally figures for County Durham refer to the local authority area and not the
County Durham Police Authority area which includes Darlington. Therefore rates
given in this document should not be compared with nationally published police
authority, regional and national datasets. Regional and national figures are supplied
for information purposes only and are for all recorded offences (excluding British
Transport Police data).
Area1
England & Wales (000s)
Figures for the area and county are estimated from geo-coded ASB offences only. NE
and E&W figures are for all ASB offences.
Those ASB incidents recorded as 'Environmental' increased to 4.3 incidents per 1000
population in 2013/14 from 3.6 in 2012/13.
