Top Trumps

Yesterday you started creating a set of Top Trump cards to show socio-economic inequalities in Birmingham. As a pair you need to use the instructions below to complete a set of 24 or 32 cards. Then cut them out and play top trumps.

First of all visit the census website with neighbourhood statistics. 

1. Enter the name of the ward of Birmingham you are looking at and select ‘ward’
2. Select 'census' → 'key statistics' → 'key figures for 2011 census' 
3. You are looking for information on -

• % of people unemployed            
• % of people with good health
• % of people 16+ with no qualifications

When you have completed the top trumps and played it through choose three wards that you think are the most affluent and use Zoopla.com and Google Streetview to investigate houses for sale in the area. Think about: 

• How do prices compare to Bicester?
• Do you think that your judgements are correct (at the moment}?

Now do the same but with what you think are the three most deprived wards.
