Newham’s Sustainable Community Strategy for 2010 – 2030
Summary
The Sustainable Community Strategy is a blueprint for how the
council and its partners will make Newham a place where people
choose to live, work and stay.
Newham is the future of the capital - our population is the youngest
in the country and this is reflected through the vibrancy and
confidence you will find in the borough.
Newham is an ambitious place with ambitious plans; and young
people are at the heart of those plans. We are committed to
improving people’s lives, helping them fulfil their potential and boost
aspirations. Our aim is to build an inspirational place in which
everyone plays their part, regardless of social or economic
circumstances. By 2030, we fully expect Newham to be recognised
across Europe as a leading economic and residential district of
London.
The key principles of our approach are:
• Building personal and economic capacity
• Trust and fairness
• Connecting people
For more information on the Sustainable Community Strategy see

The 2001 Census still provides the only accurate information on ethnicity and religion. However in the nine years since the survey took
place significant changes have occurred in Newham. In order to indicate some of this change, and to get a more up to date picture see the
next page for a break down of the ethnicity of school pupils.

Source: Pupil Level 2009 Annual School Census
This information is from the 2009 annual schools census of pupils. This survey records the
home address and ethnicity, as well as other information, of all pupils in publicly funded
schools. This data is most useful to indicate patterns of migrant settlement, as adults with
children may be more likely to stay in an area for longer.
This information is not directly comparable to the census as it only records data of school
age residents.
The 2001 Census shows that East Ham’s ethnicity follows closely that of Newham as a
whole with the two largest groups being Asian (39%) and White (35%). The 2009 Schools
Census indicates a potential growth in the Asian population (54%) and a reduction in the
White population (8%).

Notes on sources
2001 Census
Censuses are the most accurate way to find out the size and structure of populations. It has been nine years since the last National Census in 2001
when the population of Newham was 243,891. Since this date the population of Newham has both grown and changed in structure.
GLA Ward Projections
Alternative population estimates come from the Greater London Authority (GLA). They estimate population based on the same variables as the Office
of National Statistics (ONS) plus information regarding new housing developments and different scenarios of future immigration/emigration. Newham
argues that the current population projections under estimates the size of the population in Newham
Public Health Information
Public Health information comes from the London Health Observatory (LHO) which produces information, data and intelligence on the health of
people who live in London.
Liveability Survey
The liveability survey, first conducted in 2007/8 measures residents' attitudes to their local (Community Forum) area, including the level of their civic
and community engagement and perceptions of council services provided in that area. It allows the council and partners to look in more detail at
differences in attitudes and perception in different areas of the borough and compare different areas.
Household Income
PayCheck is CACI’s estimate of household income at postcode level. It is based upon government data sources together with income data for
millions of UK households collected from lifestyle surveys and guarantee card returns. Equivalised income estimates take into account the size and
composition of a household and reflect the idea that a larger household would require a larger income to achieve an equivalent standard of living.
GLA Claimant Rate January 2010
The GLA claimant count rate is the percentage of the economically active population who are claiming job seekers allowance.
Output from the GLA claimant count model uses administrative counts of Job Seekers and expresses them as a percentage of the labour force
(excluding economically active full-time students) using GLA projections of the economically active population.
Mayhew Associates Estimates, 2007
Mayhew Associates have produced population estimates for Newham based on their "neighbourhood knowledge management" (nkm) methodology,
which produces a "confirmed" population based on administrative data for the borough. This is modelled data based on administrative data of the
borough's residents
Crime Data, Metropolitan Police
This data is provided by the Metropolitan Police on a rolling monthly basis. The crime rata data is based on the number of crimes per 1000 population
based on the GLA Ward projections, Low variant, 2008-based for 2010. For more information on crime statistics see the Metropolitan Police website
