It is also possible to examine this in relation to ACORN and Health ACORN (see
section 6.10 on page 138 for more information about ACORN) .
The full report (at www.hullpublichealth.org) gives the numbers and percentages
remaining in the same home, moving home but remaining in Hull, moving away from
Hull, moving to Hull from ERoY and who died based on the original ACORN categories
as at 1 st October 2007 for ACORN categories, groups and types respectively. ACORN
classifications are available for Hull and East Riding of Yorkshire, so if the individual was
a resident of ERoY in October 2007 and moved to Hull within the year then their
ACORN classification is generally known and they were included in the full report.
ACORN classifications were not available for people who moved to Hull from beyond
ERoY between October 2007 and October 2008 as their postcode prior to moving to
Hull is not recorded. However, there were still over 13,000 residents who are not
assigned an ACORN classification.
Those in the “Urban Prosperity” group are more likely to move away from Hull, and the
“Wealthy Achievers” group are more likely to move into Hull. It may be a surprise that
7% of this latter group move from East Riding of Yorkshire into Hull, but it is likely that
this is in part due to the age profile of this group and the pre-selection within the original
file 9 , and some of these people may be moving into cheaper accommodation or into
nursing or retirement homes within Hull.
Out of those who moved address within the year and who were living in Hull as at 1 st
October 2007, over half moved to ERoY or beyond ERoY (rather than moved within
Hull) for the following ACORN categories (where more than 35 people moved in total):
“Wealthy Mature Professionals, Large Houses” (83% of the „movers‟ moved away from
Hull); “Wealthy Working Families with Mortgages” (62%); “Older Families, Prosperous
Suburbs” (54%); “Well-Off Professionals, Larger Houses & Converted Flats” (58%);
“Suburban Privately Renting Professionals” (53%); “Student Terraces” (61%); and
“Retired Home Owners” (56%). In contrast for the following categories had fewer than
30% who moved to ERoY or beyond out of those living in Hull who did moved address
within the year (provided number of people moving address was 35 or more): “Young
Working Families” (27%); “Home Owning Families, Terraces” (30%); “Low Income,
Routine Jobs, Terraces and Flats” (20%); “Low Income Families, Terraced Estates”
(22%); “Families and Single Parents, Semis and Terraces” (19%); “Large Families and
Single Parents, Many Children” (19%); “Single Elderly People, Council Flats” (29%);
Single Parents and Pensioners, Council Terraces” (22%); and “Singles and Single
Parents, High Rise Estates” (29%).
With regard to Health ACORN, a slightly higher percentage of the “Healthy” group
moved away from Hull, but this is perhaps not surprising and it is possible that the effect
will be confounded with age, i.e. younger people tend to move out of Hull and the young
9 There are few people in this category for Hull, so it is more likely that people within this category live in
ERoY and with the pre-selection of the file (i.e. only those living in Hull as at 1 st October 2007 and/or as at
1 st October 2008) it is more likely that these people will move to Hull within the year.
