East Cliff & Springbourne: your neighbourhood
East Cliff & Springbourne electoral ward · May 2026 boundaries. Every figure carries its own date.
What stands out here?
Homes rented privately: 49% here, compared with 25% across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (24 percentage points higher).
A larger private-rented sector changes the mix of housing advice, enforcement and tenant support needed. It does not tell us whether individual homes are affordable or safe.

People aged 65 or over: 14.2% here, compared with 21.6% across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (7.4 percentage points lower).
Age helps locate demand for accessible homes, transport and support. Being older does not itself mean someone needs care.

What these numbers include
Approximate published locations, not every crime or personal risk.
Anti-social behaviour is separate. Transport police and unusable locations excluded.
An empty ward count means no mapped rows in the complete required force files; it does not prove that no crime occurred.
These are retrieved mapped records, not a guarantee of complete crime reporting. Approximate locations and unmapped incidents limit comparisons.
Missing ward-months invalidate totals and changes. Busy centres attract visitors, so residential population is not a measure of the number of people exposed.
