What is Poverty? Who does it affect?• Almost one in five people are classed as living in poverty

• Poverty doesn’t just affect pensioners and lone parents. The makeup of poverty has changed to include more and more families with children and also households with single working age people.

• Pensioners – many are asset rich (valuable houses with no mortgage) but income poor

• A lack of opportunity is often used to define poverty in modern society.

• Services, not necessarily possessions are big expenses for families today. Possible to have a new mobile phone or MP3 player but not to afford to send a child on a school trip.

• No high street bank account - reliance on expensive high street cheque cashing services, expensive pre-payment gas and electricity and doorstep lenders

•Spending more than 10% of annual income on fuel - reliance on pre-payment meters equates to an extra £63 per year, compared to customers paying by direct debit

• Poor access to transport, employment opportunities and healthy, affordable food - a reliance on the local area may not provide suitable job opportunities or the opportunity to buy fresh,healthy food at an affordable price - obesity and type 2 diabetes are modern indicators of poverty.

Indicators of Poverty in Modern Society

Index of Multiple Deprivation 2004

• The IMD 2004 is a ‘Super Output Area’ level measure of multiple deprivation

IMD 2004 consists of seven distinct domains:• Income Deprivation (with sub domains income

deprivation affecting children and older persons) • Employment Deprivation• Health Deprivation & Disability• Education, Skills & Training Deprivation• Barriers to Housing & Services• Crime & Disorder• Living Environment

Super Output Areas

• Super Output Areas (SOAs) are replacing electoral wards as the primary means of dissemination of small area Government (and other) statistics.

• Three types of SOA – lower, middle and upper layer

• Each lower layer SOA contains about 1500 people.

• There are 333 in Warwickshire (cp. 105 wards)

Key Findings – Overall IMD 2004• 37 Warwickshire SOAs feature in most deprived 30%

nationally. There are 2 Warwickshire SOAs within the most 10% deprived in England – in Bar Pool and Camp Hill wards.

• 26 of the 37 Warwickshire SOAs within the most deprived 30% nationally are in Nuneaton & Bedworth.

• 5 are in Warwick, 4 in Rugby and 2 in North Warwickshire.

• The 4 Rugby SOAs are within Brownsover South (worst 20%), Newbold (town centre), northern Overslade & Newbold-on-Avon.

Access to fresh fruit and veg in urban Rugby is good – but it

may not be affordable or very fresh if access is dependent on

small, local outlets

Access to Fruit & Veg: By Bus

- Rate of fuel poverty in Rugby is 19% - one in five households in the district live in fuel poverty.

- The three highest scoring wards in Rugby fall within the ‘worst’ 10% of wards in Warwickshire. Over a quarter of households (almost 3 out of 10 in Benn’s case) in these wards live in fuel poverty.

NB – Based on 1991 ward boundaries

Child Poverty

- 1 in 4 children in the UK live in poverty

- A third of those children living in poverty go without meals, toys and clothes that they need – affects social, educational and physical development

- Children often stay in poverty into adulthood – research shows that most people tend to stay within the same income distribution as their parents.

- Good quality childcare is crucial in the fight against poverty. Enabling parents to earn an income to get out of poverty gives children a better start in life.

Summary

• Different types of poverty• Different geographical areas• Different groups of people • Brownsover, Overslade, Benn, Newbold, &

New Bilton appear in a number of measures of deprivation

• Need for better and on-going understanding of the nature of poverty in the Borough so that we tackle it in the most effective and co-ordinated way
