We came across some data last week and we’ve extracted something you may find interesting.
We’ve focused on which areas on the Isle of Wight where the over-sixty population live.
The data is based on the Work and Pensions Longitudinal Study, DWP and 2001 Census population estimates.
Many thanks to Guy Palmer at poverty.org.uk for publishing the data.
