Summary

This dataset is linked to the following visualization: Visualization - Leicester Household Survey 2021 results

The Leicester Household Survey is designed to capture information on the composition, characteristics, attitudes, and behaviour of private households and individuals to help shape council services, make decisions based on evidence about the local population, and to gain a better understanding of the needs of residents.

To explore the survey by topic and demographic characteristics, please use the Response Analysis tab above.

The specific aims of the survey are to:

  • better understand local characteristics alongside census data
  • meet local government needs for relevant data to support decision making
  • allow wellbeing and financial circumstances within households to be analysed
  • be understandable and useful to stakeholders and partners

The survey took place in Autumn 2021. 3,272 valid responses, age 18+ with a Leicester postcode, were collected. Around 60% of responses were submitted online. The remaining 40% of responses were collected by fieldworkers who targeted areas or groups with low response rates.

The sample was reasonably representative of Leicester’s adult population by ethnicity, deprivation, housing tenure, and broad area of the city.

The themes of the survey were:

  • About your household
  • Health and wellbeing
  • Money and finances
  • Digital access and internet use
  • News and information
  • Leicester City Council and you

This dataset presents the results of the Leicester Household Survey for the city overall and three demographic categories: Ethnicity, Age, and Housing tenure.

Results for small ethnic groups (Chinese, Mixed, Other) have been suppressed as some information will be based on fewer than five responses.

Some results may not sum to 100 due to rounding.
