Beaconsfield South

This profile provides an overview of the latest available information for the new Beaconsfield South ward,

effective May 2015. As the Office for National Statistics ward data is not due to be updated until end 2015/2016, this information has been derived from Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs have a population of

between 1,000 and 1,500) on a “best fit” basis. Where this is not available, data is given at parish or district

level. On the map above, the green hashed areas with green boundaries represent LSOAs. The red boundaries are the new ward boundaries and brown is where the LSOA and new ward boundaries converge.

Crime Source: Thames Valley Police Crime Summary for South Bucks District as at 31st March 2011

Information on crime levels is produced at police neighbourhood level rather than by ward. The information is based on year to date crime summaries produced by Thames Valley Police for the district.

Beaconsfield South falls within the Beaconsfield neighbourhood level. When comparing 2013/14 to previous years reporting there was a 28% reduction in burglary (dwelling) and a 1% reduction in vehicle crime. In the same period, there was a 26% increase in violence against a person, resulting in an overall reduction in crime of 2%.

Crime statistics at district level are produced by Thames Valley Police on a monthly basis. There are some differences between the neighbourhood police area figures and the overall South Bucks figures due to different timelines in producing the report and also crimes being reclassified over the reporting period.

Deprivation Source: Indices of Multiple Deprivation 2010, CLG.

The Indices of Multiple Deprivation 2010 (IMD) is a measure of deprivation at the small area level - Lower Super Output Area (LSOA). England is split into 32,482 LSOAs, LSOAs have a minimum population of 1000, and overall average population of 1500, and were ranked to create the IMD. All of the LSOAs in England are ranked. The LSOA ranked one is the most deprived and the LSOA ranked 32,482 is the least deprived. South Bucks contains 40 LSOAs. The IMD model is based on seven distinct dimensions of deprivation which are then given a weighting to work out an overall ranking for deprivation as shown below:

(Please note that IMD 2010 is based on 2008 data.)
