ACORN demographics
There has been some to-ing and fro-ing over the following

"The classification agency ACORN describes Heaton Mersey's most southern tip as being home to an affluent Asian community.((ref)) The majority of these Asians are British Pakistani families, most of whom have moved out of inner city Manchester."

The reference is http://www.upmystreet.com/local/neighbours-in-sk4-2bw.html, which does not seem to contain the information. It sounds plausible, but I don't see it in the ref, so I have removed the passage. Anyone? Mr Stephen (talk) 22:56, 12 November 2010 (UTC)


 * The reference definitely did describe part of this area as having a "high" asian population with "high" family incomes a few weeks ago. The website came up with the information after typing in "Heaton Mersey" into its search box, the profile has now changed so the website does not show this anymore. I dont know whether this is because this particular minority group has moved on (unlikely in such a short space of time) or whether it is something else. I do not personally know this part of Greater Manchester so im unsure of the situation this general sense.


 * However, the reference http://www.upmystreet.com/local/neighbours-in-sk4-2bu.html does currently show the information for southern Heaton Mersey. It claims that "Almost 40% of the people in this type of postcode are Asian" and says there are "high" incomes. Im not sure whether this type of information is notable though.

Geography
Some informative content, but think some improvements could be made. The statement about Heaton Mersey being on the River Mersey whereas the other Heatons are not, does not hold much significance as an item of information. It could be said about hundreds more places in the north west of England, and I think it's a fact already indicative by virtue of its name. The claim about the superior amount of green space should probably be backed up by an external reference, as true as it may be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stopford94 (talk • contribs) 18:13, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

Historic County
It’s widely known that most of Stockport used to be part of Cheshire. However, the river Mersey was the border between Lancashire and Cheshire.

surely Heaton Mersey was actually part of Lancashire historically? HiddenHerobrine (talk) 14:47, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
 * The article states Lancashir until a recent, uncited, IP edit. See ] for one apparently non-wiki-related source.  Lithopsian (talk) 14:53, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
 * It would be informative to put back in but struggling to find a reliable source which states this. I’m not dubious of the fact but things need backing up. HiddenHerobrine (talk) 21:16, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
