The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007 (IMD 2007) is a Lower layer Super Output Area (LSOA) measure of multiple deprivation. The IMD is made up of seven LSOA level domain indices, each of which measures a different aspect of deprivation (income, employment, health, education & skills, barriers to housing & services, crime and living environment.) There are also two supplementary indices (Income Deprivation Affecting Children and Income Deprivation Affecting Older People).

There are 32,482 SOAs in England and 333 SOAs in Warwickshire. Each SOA is ranked according to its relative level of deprivation based upon a score generated from a number of different indicators. Low ranks denote greater levels of relative deprivation. A ranking of 1 represents the most deprived SOA nationally and a ranking of 32,482 represents the least deprived SOA nationally. The areas are ranked either within the top 10,20 or 30% most deprived nationally.

*Super Output Areas (SOAs) are a geographic hierarchy designed by the Office for National Statistics to improve the reporting of small area statistics in England and Wales. SOAs have a minimum population of 1,000 and a mean population of 1,500.

Summary & Key Issues:

Southam is an old market town, once an important stop on the coaching road from Coventry to Oxford. With its good road links, Southam and its surrounding villages provide a favourable location for commuters to Coventry and the town makes a convenient base for the businesses at a small industrial estate which is a significant source of employment for Southam’s residents. Local landmarks include the Holy Well and the Old Mint.

Public services in this area include a library, police station, fire station and a leisure centre at Southam. There is also a library at Harbury. There are a number of primary schools within the locality area and one secondary school; Southam College.

The A423 provides good access to Coventry to the north and Banbury to the south. Although there is a railway line from Leamington to Banbury and London which runs through the area, there are no stations along this line. However, there are regular buses linking Southam to Leamington Spa and Rugby. The proposed route of HS2 which would link Birmingham and London passes through the centre of the locality, close to Southam and the village of Ladbroke.

Community groups and volunteer groups in Southam include a Rotary Club, an Inner Wheel Club, Southam First Responders, whorespond to emergency calls in the area, a Carers’ Group, a club for the Blind & Partially Sighted and a Childrens Centre, as well as arange of sports and social groups.

The Southam and Feldon locality has the sixth highest proportion of under 16 year olds of all the localities in Warwickshire. In turn, there islower than average proportion of working age residents. The percentage of the population which is non-white British is low at just over halfthe County average. This is fairly typical for an essentially rural location. This locality is generally regarded as affluent. Its proportion of working age people employed in managerial and professional occupations isabove average. The percentage of older people claiming Pension Credit and the percentage of the working age population claiming benefitsare both well below the County average. In this locality 24% of adults are educated to degree level or equivalent compared to 21% in the County as a whole. The percentage withno qualifications is among the lowest in the County. The proportion of pupils currently achieving five or more A*-C grades at GCSE(including English and Maths) is just above the County average. The percentage of pupils completing Year 11 without a place in Education,Employment or Training (NEET) is below the County average. As with many rural areas in the county there is little recorded deprivation in the locality with the exception of the barriers to housing andservices domain. Four Super Output Areas appear in the top 20% of this rank, with one being in the top 10%. Southam and Feldon locality has a low recorded crime rate compared to the County, a rate of 43.6 crimes per 1,000 of the population,compared to a County average of 63.3. Road traffic accidents are very close to the County average. For residents in this locality, the number one issue most in need of improvement is activities for teenagers, with road and pavement repairsbeing the second priority. Overall though, the residents in this locality are the sixth most satisfied with their area as a place to live of allthe localities in Warwickshire.

Disclaimer

Super Output Area (SOA) data is available for the majority of the datsets and can be made available on request from the Observatory.

The education data used here only takes account of those children that live in Warwickshire and attend Warwickshire County Council maintained schools. It does not include those living outside the County who travel in to attend our schools. Furthermore, the full dataset only represents those children attending Local Authority maintained schools and not the full child population in Warwickshire as we do not collect data from Independent (private) schools or individual pupil data from private residential special/hospital schools or of children that are home educated.

The locality profiles refer to the 2008 Place Survey, however in 2009/10, a Partnership Place Survey was carried out although data is not broken down to locality level. The report for the 2009/10 Partnership Place survey is available from: http://www.warwickshireobservatory.org/observatory/observatorywcc.nsf/RefDocs/KMGY-89SL46?OpenDocument

The Blueprint project considers the impacts of social, economic, and demographic changes taking place in the County over the long term. It takes the form of a series of visual map-based presentations to show analysis for a range of existing datasets. A further set of slides then detail some of the key future issues and challenges based on projected and forecasted data analysis. These help to highlight possible future implications for the County’s infrastructure and also how collectively our services are delivered across the public sector.

Analysis has been carried out at both District/Borough and Locality level. A composite Countywide picture has also been developed to show inter-relationships between the variables and the geographic spread of potential future issues. The link to the Blueprint is below: http://www.warwickshireobservatory.org/observatory/observatorywcc.nsf/RefDocs/KMGY-825JMS?OpenDocument

This profile has been prepared by the Warwickshire Observatory, Warwickshire County Council, with all reasonable skill, care, and diligence. We accept no responsibility of any nature to any third parties to whom this profile, or any part thereof, is made known. Any such party relies on the report at their own risk.

Lower-layer Super-Output Areas (LSOAs) have been used as the primary geographical building block to aggregate data to locality level. LSOAs are the smallest geography for which we have reliable data but in a small number of cases, the boundaries of the localities split an individual LSOA. Where this occurred, data has been apportioned based upon the location of residential households using a combination of Mosaic, 2001 Census and mid-year population estimate data.
