Boundary: May 2026. Census and crime records have different dates and purposes.
What makes this ward different?
Homes rented privately: 43% here, compared with 32% across Manchester (10.3 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.
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.
Source →People aged 16+ with no qualifications: 25% here, compared with 19.7% across Manchester (5.3 percentage points higher).
Formal qualifications are only one part of someone's skills. Training decisions also need current vacancies, employment and residents' experience.
