What makes this ward different?
Homes rented from a council or housing association: 46% here, compared with 25% across Salford (21.1 percentage points higher).
The share of social housing describes the homes already here. It does not show the current waiting list or whether enough suitable homes are available.
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: 29.8% here, compared with 19.7% across Salford (10.1 percentage points higher).
