Norton Canes electoral ward · May 2026 boundaries. Every figure carries its own date.
What stands out here?
Homes rented privately: 11% here, compared with 16% across Cannock Chase (4.3 percentage points lower).
A larger private-rented sector changes the mix of housing advice, enforcement and tenant support needed. It does not tell us whether individual homes are affordable or safe.
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.
Households facing two or more measured disadvantages: 18.8% here, compared with 20.6% across Cannock Chase (1.8 percentage points lower).
These households met at least two census conditions covering education, employment, health and housing. This is not an income or poverty measure.

People reporting bad or very bad health: 5.4% here, compared with 6.4% across Cannock Chase (1 percentage points lower).
Residents described their own health. Differences in age matter, so this is a prompt to investigate needs, not a score for local health services.

What these numbers include
Approximate published locations, not every crime or personal risk.
Anti-social behaviour is separate. Transport police and unusable locations excluded.
An empty ward count means no mapped rows in the complete required force files; it does not prove that no crime occurred.
These are retrieved mapped records, not a guarantee of complete crime reporting. Approximate locations and unmapped incidents limit comparisons.
Missing ward-months invalidate totals and changes. Busy centres attract visitors, so residential population is not a measure of the number of people exposed.
