Queen’s Park ward covers much of the area also
known as Charminster and has a resident population of 9,746.
The ward is one of the most ethnically diverse in
Bournemouth with residents of a mixed race background making up
the largest group of the non-white population.
There is a large number of owner-occupiers but there
is also a significant proportion of residents renting privately.
This is probably linked to the numbers of converted flats that
are often popular rental properties.
A significant proportion of households are living
in overcrowded conditions. Fewer residents than nationally are
without a qualification.
