Gender Embed This

Across the UK as a whole, the gender split is roughly 49% male, 51% female. This part of the Barlaston ward however contains significantly more women than average (56%). This can be caused by a number of factors, but amongst the most common are large establishments such as boarding schools and convents, and areas with older populations.

Females on average live longer than males, so are more likely to be found in retirement areas. In general, as people age, they move away from city centre addresses to suburbs, smaller towns and rural locations, so these areas often show a greater number of females, with inner-city areas showing the opposite trend.
