Westminster – Housing Needs Assessment 2006Older person householdsOlder persons are defined as those of a pensionable age i.e. men aged 65 or older and women aged60 or over. Some 17.7% of households in the City of Westminster contain older persons only, and afurther 5.0% contain a mix of both older and non-older persons.Older person only households are solely comprised of one or two persons, providing implicationsfor future caring patterns. Although the majority of older person only households live in the privatesector, it is interesting to note that a relatively high proportion of social rented accommodationhouses older people only (24.2%).Key worker householdsThe term intermediate housing is often used with reference to specific groups of households such askey workers. The survey therefore analysed such households (the definition being based oncategories of employment and notably including public sector workers). Analysis of survey dataindicates that there are an estimated 12,109 people in key worker occupations.Key worker categoriesCategory Number of persons % of key workersHealth (NHS) 4,557 37.6%Education 3,727 30.8%Community, social services, prison andprobation staff2,827 23.3%Emergency services 825 6.8%Transport 143 1.2%Local authority planners 31 0.3%TOTAL 12,109 100.0%Source: City of Westminster Housing Needs Survey 2006The survey also estimated that 6,972 households are headed by a key worker; these householdswere subject to additional analysis. The main findings from further analysis of this group ofhouseholds can be summarised as follows:PAGE 10
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY• Around 15% of key worker households had moved in the last five years, below that of nonkeyworkers; they were more likely to have moved from social rented accommodation thannon-key workers• Key worker households are more likely to want to move within the City and are more likelyto want to buy their own home• Key worker households have slightly higher incomes than non-key worker households (inemployment)• Some 52.5% of key worker households can afford market housing in the City. Of those thatcannot afford it, 88.1% can afford intermediate housing options• In terms of the need for affordable housing the study suggests that around 0.8% of the netaffordable housing requirement comes from key worker householdsBlack & Minority Ethnic householdsInformation was gathered in the survey to find out the ethnic origin of the head of household (andpartner if applicable) for each sample household in the survey. Due to the small sample size of someof the groups, some of the categories have been re-classified, resulting in nine different ethnicgroups. The table below shows estimates of the number of households in each of the nine ethnicgroups.Ethnic groupNumber of households in each ethnic groupTotal number ofhouseholds% of householdsWhite - British 65,921 58.7%White - Irish 4,914 4.4%White - Other 17,195 15.3%Mixed 3,021 2.7%Asian or Asian British 7,213 6.4%Black or Black British - African 5,604 5.0%Black or Black British - Other 2,173 1.9%Arab 4,439 3.9%Any other ethnic group 1,914 1.7%All households 112,395 100.0%Source: City of Westminster Housing Needs Survey 2006The survey indicates that Mixed households have the highest average household size with anestimated 3.33 persons per household.
