Whilst Chilworth, Nursling and Rownhams are placed together to make up the ward (which is a boundary used by the local authority and other public sector organisations), there is a distinct difference between the communities which live in Chilworth, and those which live in Nursling and Rownhams. To represent this, the information contained within this profile has been divided to correspond with the Parish Boundaries for Chilworth Parish and for Nursling & Rownhams Parish. This divide separates the ward from north to south and can be seen on the map on the following page.

The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2010 calculates local scores of deprivation based on a number of factors including housing and the economy. Deprivation covers a broad range of issues and refers to unmet needs caused by a lack of resources of all kinds, not just financial. The English Indices of Deprivation 2010 are organised across seven distinct domains of deprivation which can be combined to calculate the Index of Multiple Deprivation 2010. These seven domains are: income, employment, health, education, barriers to housing, crime and living environment. The map below shows the deprivation scores for the ward of Chilworth, Nursling & Rownhams (outlined in blue) against all areas in Test Valley. One of these areas covers Chilworth and is the lighter yellow/green area on the right-hand side of the inset map. Of all areas in England, the area which covers Chilworth is ranked at 21,775 where 1 is the most deprived and 32,482 is the least deprived. This area is considered to be in the top 35% of least deprived areas in the country and is not classified as suffering from deprivation on a national scale.

A household must contain at least one person whose place of usual residence is at the address.

The environment Based on a 2011 estimated population, the total requirement for public spaces in the Parish of Chilworth is 3.19 hectares17. The level of public open space varies depending on the type of provision and location. Overall, Chilworth has 1.85 hectares less than the required amount of public open space. Anecdotal evidence suggests that many local residents use the local woodland footpaths for recreation and do not feel that there is a lack of open space in the parish. The Public Open Space Audit (2012), identifies the main provisions within Chilworth, including, Fowler’s Walk, the Tennis Courts at Fowler’s Walk and Chilworth Village Green. Despite a low level of provision in Chilworth, provision of open space is available for residents in neighbouring areas, such as at Romsey Sports Centre. The map below shows nature conservation areas in Chilworth, Nursling and Rownhams with Chilworth highlighted in purple. Chilworth contains a number of Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation which are areas of local importance for nature conservation.

The map above shows areas of the ward considered to be at risk of flooding18. Whilst the majority of Chilworth is not expected to be at risk, a narrow area running up through the ward to the west of Chilworth shows as a potential flood risk, along with a small area running through the centre of the ward. The areas shown in purple on the map have a 1% or greater annual probability of flooding, therefore, it is likely that flooding to the extent shown above would occur once in every hundred years. The areas shown in green are only likely to be affected by a major flood, with up to a 0.1% chance of it happening each year. It should be noted that the areas shown are the extent of the natural floodplain and should not be used to identify individual properties at risk.

The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2010 calculates local scores of deprivation based on a number of factors including housing and the economy. Deprivation covers a broad range of issues and refers to unmet needs caused by a lack of resources of all kinds, not just financial. The English Indices of Deprivation 2010 are organised across seven distinct domains of deprivation which can be combined to calculate the Index of Multiple Deprivation 2010. These seven domains are: income, employment, health, education, barriers to housing, crime and living environment. The map below shows the deprivation scores for the ward of Chilworth, Nursling & Rownhams (outlined in blue) against all areas in Test Valley. Three of these areas cover Nursling and Rownhams. They are the bright green and dark green areas on the left-hand side of the insert map. Of all areas in England, the three areas which cover Nursling and Rownhams are ranked as 25,115, 31,265, and 31,539 where 1 is the most deprived and 32,482 is the least deprived.

The map above shows areas of the ward considered to be at risk of flooding38. Whilst the majority of Nursling and Rownhams is not expected to be at risk, an area on the south-western edge shows as a potential flood risk, along with a small area running through the centre of the ward to the east of Rownhams. The areas shown in purple on the map have a 1% or greater annual probability of flooding, therefore, it is likely that flooding to the extent shown above would occur once in every hundred years. The areas shown in green are only likely to be affected by a major flood, with up to a 0.1% chance of it happening each year. It should be noted that the areas shown are the extent of the natural floodplain and should not be used to identify individual properties at risk.
