Under 18sThe share of residents who are children — the closest thing here to a map of where families settle.: 22.1%13th of 33
Aged 18 to 29Young adults as a share of residents. Almost exactly the inverse of the over-65s map.: 14.2%5th lowest
Aged 30 to 44The years when people tend to buy, settle and have children — and the age band that moves furthest out of the centre.: 21.7%2nd lowest
Aged 45 to 64Established households, heaviest in the outer suburbs and thinnest in the renting core.: 24.6%12th of 33
Over 65sResidents of retirement age, concentrated in the outer suburbs where people stay put.: 17.4%2nd highest

GCSEResidents whose highest qualification is GCSE or equivalent.: 15.1%1st highest
OtherEveryone else: apprenticeships, vocational and overseas qualifications, and residents with none recorded.: 38.6%2nd highest

Social rentalHouseholds renting from a council or housing association.: 14.3%24th of 33
