   ‌About this document

   
   

   This document, produced by DLUHC in collaboration with ONS, presents high-level data to support the Long-Term Plan for Towns programme. This collaboration is supported through the Levelling Up Subnational Data project. It does not make policy recommendations.

   
   

   

   
   

   

   Background

   • On 1 October 2023, the UK government announced its long-term plan for towns. This will provide long-term investment in 55 towns to be spent on local people’s priorities such as regenerating local high streets and town centres or securing public safety.

   • This data pack primarily uses metrics and indicators across the three policy investment themes as detailed further in the guidance for local authorities and Town Boards. Data presented in this pack are at town level, where possible, but other geographies are used where sufficiently granular data is not yet available.

   • This is a local data profile. It does not take account of the implementation of current national or local policy interventions.

     
     

     Data caveats

   • Lockdown restrictions and the furlough scheme were in place at the time Census 2021 was conducted, which significantly impacted 'travel to work methods' data. As such, the data are not reflective of current commuting patterns. We have therefore used Census 2011 data in the commuter flows table shown in this pack. Census 2021 employment data may also be impacted by furlough and the timing of Census day (March 2021).

   • The data sources in this pack are the latest available as of 30th November 2023. In collaboration with the Office for National Statistics (ONS), we have derived metrics at town level based on Built Up Areas for 2022 where this data was not previously available. Estimates are at town level unless stated otherwise. These are experimental estimates for small levels of geography that may be more volatile or have higher levels of uncertainty, which should be taken into consideration when interpreting the data.

   • Due to data availability, estimates at local authority level are based on geographic boundaries as of 2022.

‌Map of Ryde

‌Overview of town indicators

The chart on the left shows how Ryde town’s indicators (orange) fare against national averages (dark blue). Town values have been scaled relative to the national averages which were set to 100.

The policy investment themes are listed below:

• [T1] Safety and Security

• [T2] High Streets, Heritage and Regeneration

• [T3] Transport and Connectivity

How to read the chart:

1. Compare the overall shape of the town data points to the national average shape.

2. The closer a town marker is to value 100 on the chart, the closer it is to the national average.

3. A town marker higher than 100 indicates better performance than the national average, except for the three indicators marked with an asterisk (*), where the opposite is true.

‌Safety and Security

Social Trust (%) and Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) deciles

Note: Data is at MSOA level, resulting in multiple MSOAs per town. There was an average of 7 respondents per MSOA.

According to Onward (2023), Ryde has a social trust score of -3.7%, which is lower than the England average of -3.1%, showing that there is a lower level of social trust within Ryde than national levels. More deprived Middle Layer Super Output Areas (MSOAs) are likely to have lower levels of social trust than less deprived MSOAs in Ryde.

10-minute walking distance to green spaces in Ryde, 2023

* England average is derived from Built Up Areas with a population between 20,000 and 100,000 only.

** Footfall is defined as the average daily number of outbound journeys (not including journeys to home) within the town/Built Up Area over the period March 2022-March 2023. The mean average footfall of all English towns with a population between 20,000 and 100,000 people, has been standardised to an index of 100, with the figure for this town scaled relative to this average.

We have excluded the “Work mainly at or from home” category from this chart to make it easier to clearly see the methods used to travel to work. Percentages do not include those working from home.

NB: Data presented on the chart above (from Census 2021) should not be compared with the tables on the right, which represent Census 2011 data. The tables on the right are based on BUA 2011 geographies, which may be different to the BUA 2022 geographies that the majority of data in this pack are reported at. Census travel data for 2021 were impacted by lockdown restrictions and the furlough scheme that were in place in March 2021.
