Chorley North West electoral ward · May 2026 boundaries. Every figure carries its own date.
What stands out here?
Homes rented privately: 23% here, compared with 14% across Chorley (9.4 percentage points higher).
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.

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.
People aged 65 or over: 25.1% here, compared with 20.5% across Chorley (4.6 percentage points higher).
Age helps locate demand for accessible homes, transport and support. Being older does not itself mean someone needs care.

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.
