 ASTON, England - Aston is certainly a change from
countryside. Sitting on the northern rim of the inner city,
it is a densely-packed neighbourhood of mainly small, two-bedroomed
Victorian terraced houses. Apart from the park there is very
little greenery – no grass verges, no front gardens and very few
trees. The population of 27,000 is very diverse, with 50%
Asian (predominantly Pakistani and Bangladeshi Muslim), 20% Black
(mainly Afro-Caribbean with some refugees from the African continent)
and about 23% White (English, Irish and new migrants). It is
the second most deprived neighbourhood in Birmingham. About
23% of the population are unemployed and 88% of residents fall in the
Nation’s top 10% of people living with multiple deprivations. Download |
