A notional result of 46% for support for Brexit is given alongside a figure of 41% for deprivation, which is considerably lower than the national average of 52%, according to the site. For general statistics, the average age is 52.7, at least 90% of the local population owns a car, whilst 74% own a home, and the gross household income is £56,606.
