Local and demographic factors Sample Clauses

Local and demographic factors. The University’s local region of Devon and Cornwall covers around 4,000 square miles and extends 180 miles from the Somerset border to the Isles of Scilly. Largely rural, the main population centres are Plymouth, Exeter and Torbay, which account for almost one third of the total population of around 1.7 million. While generally standards of living are good, the area contains pockets of deprivation, with 59 lower-layer super output areas (LSOAs) within the most deprived 10% of areas in England according to the 2015 Index of Multiple Deprivation. These include 27 neighbourhoods in Plymouth (including Stonehouse, among the 1% most deprived); 14 in Torbay; 17 in Cornwall; two in Exeter and two in North Devon. HEFCE’s Gap Xxxx analysis shows the two counties have an average young participation rate in higher education of 31.9% compared with 41.6% for Greater London. Over 8% of wards within Devon and Cornwall fall into the lowest 20% of young people entering higher education in England. By comparison just over 3% of wards within Greater London fall into this category. One of the most popular holiday and retirement destinations in the UK, the area suffers from a lack of affordable homes, with average house prices around 11 times more than the average annual salary. With lower than average earnings, the counties have a higher than average part-time workforce; and a higher than average proportion of disabled people and carers within the working age population. The physical size and rural nature of our locality present difficulties in delivering our outreach programmes and maintaining close relationships with our local schools. With driving times of between two and three hours between the edges of our local area and a lack of public transport links to rural communities, delivering multiple interventions to widely dispersed students can prove challenging. The area has low levels of ethnic diversity. The population of Cornwall, for example, is just 1.4% Asian/Asian British and 0.7% Black/Black British compared with a national average of 7.5% and 3.3% respectively. While the University is ethnically diverse, welcoming students from more than 150 different countries from around the world, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (XXXX) students make up a smaller proportion of the UK/EU cohort than the sector and Xxxxxxx Group averages. We have ambitious targets to increase the proportion of these students to create a more diverse student community, but can only achieve this by ...
