Salisbury East Salisbury Plain

Salisbury East and Salisbury Plain are neighbouring areas with distinct profiles. Salisbury East has a noticeably older population, with a typical resident aged 40 and 21% of people aged 65 or over. It also has far more schools within 3km and a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of one. In contrast, Salisbury Plain is younger, with a typical age of 37, and has a much higher recorded offence rate, particularly for theft, where it stands among the highest in the country.

Everyday life is quite similar in both places, as they share almost identical typical weekly personal incomes and rates of volunteering. Both areas also have very similar levels of university qualifications and a similar share of adults in de facto relationships. While Salisbury Plain has far more public transport stops and departures per 1,000 people, Salisbury East remains more walkable for those visiting schools.
