Donard electoral ward · May 2026 boundaries. Every figure carries its own date.
What stands out here?
People aged 65 or over: 27.8% here, compared with 16.7% across Newry, Mourne and Down (11.2 percentage points higher).
Age helps locate demand for accessible homes, transport and support. Being older does not itself mean someone needs care.
21 March 2021 · ward and council use the same source, measure and date.
Why this comparison is valid
The difference is in percentage points. The wider figure is the published council total, not the average of its wards. Differences describe groups, not every resident.
People aged 16+ with a degree or equivalent: 37.8% here, compared with 31.8% across Newry, Mourne and Down (6 percentage points higher).
Qualifications show local skills, not whether people have secure jobs or use those skills at work.

Homes rented privately: 21% here, compared with 18% across Newry, Mourne and Down (3.2 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.

What these numbers include
Approximate published locations, not every crime or personal risk.
Anti-social behaviour is separate. Transport police and records without usable locations are excluded.
Do not compare directly with Scottish council-level recorded crime totals.
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.
