How well do you know where you live?

Not relevant at all Merlot. Certainly not around here where there are apparently none - although I have seen one or two hijabs around. Perhaps they didn't complete the census?
I got 31% - but then I haven't a clue which houses are owned and which rented, whether someone is Christian or owns a car and am lousy at guessing ages.
Did quite well I think - considering.

I scored 4%. Where I live is so diverse I am surprised I got anything correct.

Why is it relevant to know how many muslims live in your area?

Thank you, MiceElf. Lived here for 30 years and only scored 50%, but found the stats very interesting.

This is fascinating - thanks micelf. I think you have to have a 'feel' for statistics to do well - Mr Gad has & got over 70% for our ward & others of family. Having got a feel for several wards I improved my scores on wards I know of but don't live in. Being a census enumerator three times really brings out the trends, like increasing complexity of families & changes in occupation. In 1991, women in lower paid jobs were cleaners & similar but by 2001 there was a massive rise in teaching assistants & care assistants - & only about 6 women were left on Greenham Common. By 2001 Afro-Caribbeans had almost disappeared once the USAF base closed but the presence of the Vodafone HQ had resulted in a surprising mix of foreign nationals. Applications for being an enumerator in 2011 were all done by computer with tick box answers & totally ignored experience so didn't do that one (or failed to be appointed in spite of my 100% forms sent back record - Grrr).

Wouldn't take my post code

I did terrible .

30%, and I've only lived here since 1975.

We're having great fun with this. DH even more pathetic than me. He only scored 29%

Will have to try it out on DD and DGSs tomorrow.

Silly me.
I didn't realise it was only for England and Wales.
Must see if there is a similar site for Scotland.

I got 47% which I was pleased with as we only moved to Norfolk 2 months ago.

I got a very low score but was quite near to being correct on some answers. In mitigation I don't think it includes the fact we have a university nearby - well that's my excuse

All I get is a message from Talk Talk saying they can't find my location. They provide my broadband etc for heavens sake. What do they mean they can't find my location?

Great fun! Didn't do very well on this one. I think I might do better on the whole city than just this ward but thanks, MiceElf.

I only scored 37%. I clearly know bugger all very little about our village.

I got 57%, just wrong on the religions

35%. Why would I know how many people out of 100 say they're Christian? Or own their own car or van, or house?

I was closest on the age-related questions, but only because I know this area has a highish proportion of older/elderly residents...

I had a look for my mother's postcode because the quiz doesn't cover Scotland (why not, by the way?). I just said zero for all of the questions because I wanted to know what the questions were.

Why would I want to know such things about my neighbourhood?

The sort of things I want to know about the neighbourhood I live in are completely different from those things.

I have lived here for 20 years and my mother lived for here for nigh on 30 years !
Cheeky monkeys !
LOL again

35% and 'oh dear have you been here before?' I have lived here for 23 years!!!

Me neither !

30% I was the same with Muslims. I guessed 10 the answer is 0 I've only been here 36years

34% well at least I'm not a nosey neighbour. I know nowt or very little.

I got 17% and the remark
"Oh dear have you ever been to this area before?"
Er yes!
LOL

48%, but I was pretty close with most answers, except the percentage of Christians where I was about 60% out! I was interested to note that the figure for Muslims was 0 (I guessed 6)
