58 VISION FOR ICKFORD : ICKFORD NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN CONSULTATION REPORT

Annex 11.

Headline analysis of the
questionnaire findings.

These results represent the views and information from the 70% of villagers
who have returned their questionnaires (so far)

• Age of residents in years
Median age for Ickford: 49
Median age for Thame: 46
Median age for AV: 40
Median age for UK 39

This probably only tells us what we already knew but it is significant.

• Mean number of residents per property 2.5 (UK 2.3)
• Mean number of cars per property 2.3 (UK 1.2)
• Mean number of bedrooms 3.4 (UK 2.9)

Ratio of: number of residents v age v number of cars is out of kilter and implies
the need for more low price, ‘affordable’ housing is required to balance the village.
School Close model is interesting. In addition the sort of housing is totally opposite
to the general trend – few flats, many 4/5 bedroom houses. Only 17% of
properties have 1 or 2 bedrooms.

• 23% of households in the village have at least one resident who works from
home. On average this is 3 days per week, but the range is large.
