Sometime after 2016, four Leeds wards were re-arranged. These were Headingley, Beeston and Holbeck, City and Hunslet, and Hyde Park and Woodhouse wards. Hyde Park and Woodhouse ward was split down the middle, with the division running through Woodhouse Moor. And so Hyde Park and Woodhouse ward, with its shocking statistics, was broken up. Headingley ward absorbed the deprived area of Hyde Park, and Little London and Woodhouse ward absorbed the deprived area of Woodhouse. We were told at the time that the re-arrangement was necessary because the population of Headingley ward had become too low for it to remain a ward. Previously, the area around Woodhouse Moor was all Hyde Park and Woodhouse ward, and so it was very easy to obtain statistics that showed living standards in the area around the park. This became impossible after the re-organisation. The latest census for Leeds prior to the re-organisation, was in 2011. This table shows the car ownership data from that census for every ward in Leeds. The figures it gives are the percentage of households possessing a car.

This table has been compiled from 2011 census data stored on this website. It shows very clearly that Hyde Park and Woodhouse ward had by far the lowest car ownership of any ward in Leeds. Only 27.6% of households in Hyde Park and Woodhouse owned a car. This compares with an average across Leeds of 41.6%. The next lowest ward for car ownership was Burmantofts and Richmond Hill at 33.7%.
