Civil parish in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole

House prices and income

A civil parish in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole — Christchurch, E04012814. Every figure below describes that area, except where it is labelled as a comparison, or as a figure for a neighbourhood or a wider area.

These figures are published for five wider areas, not for Christchurch, and the areas do not divide along the boundary of Christchurch. House prices are medians and the affordability figure is a ratio, so neither can be added up for the parish.

Reported per constituent MSOA and never combined: a location's MSOAs are not a partition of it, so summing them overstates by 50-70%. Counts rounded to the nearest 5 — a zero means 0, 1 or 2. UK Business Counts (IDBR-derived), not BRES, which carries confidentiality conditions we do not accept.

Constructed, not published — ONS publishes this ratio at local authority level only. The denominator is LA-wide, so treat as indicative. A ratio does not aggregate. The earnings are the median gross annual pay of full-time employees who live in the local authority, from the resident analysis of the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings.

A median. It cannot be summed or averaged across areas, and a location spanning several MSOAs has no single median. Published at MSOA, so the footprint is not the parish.

A model-based estimate, not a measurement. Compare using the published confidence interval, which is stored with every observation.

Table of the figures for the wider areas

Figures published only for a wider area

House prices, household income, business counts and four census tables are not published for parishes. The smallest area they exist for is a Middle Layer Super Output Area — roughly 7,200 people, drawn for statistical convenience rather than as somewhere anyone would say they live.

The figures below describe those areas, not Christchurch. There is no parish version to give you, for two different reasons. A median cannot be added up, and averaging the medians of two areas produces a number that is not a median of anything. The census counts could be added up arithmetically, but ONS does not publish them below this level and these areas do not divide neatly along the boundary of Christchurch — so a parish figure would be an estimate of ours wearing the census's authority. Either way they are shown as what they are, one row per area, and left unsummed.

The first percentage says how much of Christchurch falls in each area. The second says how much of that area is Christchurch, which is the one that tells you how far to trust a figure published for it: where it is small, the number is mostly about somewhere else. Both count output areas rather than people, so they are close to the share of residents without being it. Across the 198 single-MSOA parishes Ezra has derived, the median second figure is 4.8%.
