Footnotes:
A home owned outright means there is no outstanding mortgage. Social rented is from a housing association or local authority. The right-hand column shows the proportion of (all) households who have no car or van either owned by them or available to them.
Housing and access findings:
- Outright home ownership was much higher in the BLAP area than it was across England as a whole and was typically higher than across Dorset as a whole. This may, at least in part, reflect the older demographic in the BLAP area.
- All 14 BLAP parishes had a higher proportion of outright home ownership than across England as a whole. The highest rates of outright home ownership were found in Bothenhampton & Walditch, Burton Bradstock, Char Valley and Puncknowle & Swyre. The lowest rates were found in Allington and Bridport.
- In 13 of the 14 BLAP parishes the proportion of households in private rented homes was lower than across England as a whole (albeit by a small difference in a couple of cases). The exception, with a relatively high level of private renting, was Symondsbury parish, perhaps partly explained by the Symondsbury Estate. The level of private renting was especially low in Bothenhamton & Walditch.
- In 12 of the 14 BLAP parishes the proportion of households in social rented homes was lower than across England as a whole. The exceptions were Bridport and Allington. Levels of social renting were especially low in very rural parishes such as Litton Cheney (where there was none), Symondsbury, Puncknowle & Swyre, Loders and Char Valley, though also very low in Bothenhampton & Walditch.
- Unsurprisingly car ownership is high in the BLAP area, where there are few public transport options and where travel to reach services or jobs is often a necessity. In 13 of the 14 BLAP parishes the proportion of households with no car was lower than across England as a whole. The exception was the Bridport Town Council area. Parishes with the lowest proportion of carless households were Netherbury, Char Valley, Litton Cheney and Shipton Gorge.
