how_supra Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 It seems like a load of old tosh to me. Family income = high interest in current affairs = low housing - with mortgage = very high educated to degree = Medium couples with children = high have satellite TV = high How does the last one fit in?

Supralookin Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I've never read so much crap in my life. My postcode revealed a high income, 2 cars or more etc. But fishing? Bird watching! Fah! I'd rather sit at home in my leather chair watching Corrie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannhauser Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Some people on this thread seem highly confused. The thread and link title 'posh or not' are just a joke ffs. The site tries to profile a number of lifestyle/consumer trends in your postcode area. You infer from that info if that means it's full of 'posh' people or not. Who writes this shit? According to the site: Where do you get the information from for classifying the types? For each of the types, CACI arrives at their classification using more than 250 pieces of information drawn from the Census and various market research and lifestyle databases. Writing it off because it doesn't fit you personally is....fairly incredible. Thoughtfully, they point out: Please note that the description is for the type as whole, not your specific street. When your street matches a type it doesn’t mean the description applies to you, as an individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Family income High Interest in current affairs Low Housing - with mortgage Medium Educated - to degree High Couples with children Very high Have satellite TV Very high These are neighbourhoods of young well-off commuter families, with many pre-school and primary school children. These families often live in relatively large detached houses and have a long time left on their mortgage. However they have good incomes, and feel able to afford such long term commitments. These individuals are likely to be in their 30s, and tend to be professionals and managers with company pensions and company health care. They drive to work in company cars. These families are financially aware. Where possible they will have regular savings plans and invest in stocks and shares. A child savings plan may cater for the children’s future. The high level of remortaging may indicate confidence in their ability to repay high levels of borrowing. They have credit cards with high credit limits, but their spending is not high. The Internet is a popular channel for financial services, with e-banking fairly common with these households. On-line activity is generally high whether shopping, booking leisure activity, playing games or the children’s education. These are young active people, taking part in aerobics, playing golf, rugby and going skiing. For entertainment they own a DVD player, subscribe to satellite TV and go to the cinema.

Pixelfill Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Family income Low Interest in current affairs Low Housing - with mortgage Medium Educated - to degree Low Couples with children Medium Have satellite TV Medium Shopworkers and skilled blue-collar workers employed in manufacturing and other manual occupations make up the bulk of households in these areas. The age profile is similar to the UK as a whole with a mixture of singles, couples, families and retired people. Housing is predominantly terraced and semi-detached, with relatively few flats and detached houses. Houses are relatively small, usually with two or three bedrooms. Most are buying their property on a mortgage, although there are some renting privately. Car ownership is in line with the UK average, with around 75% of households owning a car. Cars are likely to be lower value models, often bought second hand. Think I'm gonna have to move - I don't fit in with the neighbours. Pikey central, they'll all be after me car !!!! better than where I moved from though Family income Very low Interest in current affairs Very low Housing - with mortgage Very low Educated - to degree Very low Couples with children Low Have satellite TV Low These are areas with high numbers of single pensioners living alongside many single parents. The age breakdown of the population is unusual because, overall, there are both high numbers of people over 60 and children under 16. People live in council or housing association properties. These tend to be small terraced houses and flats, typically found in urban estates. Unemployment levels are high, and typical occupations include manufacturing and other more routine jobs. With high numbers of single pensioners and single parents, overall income levels are low. This type has the lowest level of qualifications of all ACORN types, which means there is little chance of these areas becoming more prosperous. With such low incomes, it is unsurprising that the majority of these people do not have a car and public transport is essential to them. With any spare money they are most likely to have a drink in the pub, go to bingo or place an occasional bet at the bookies. If they do manage a holiday, they often choose a caravan break in the UK.
