';Buckfast is ranked 8 out of 24 wards in Teignbridge for the number of residents born outside of the UK.Buckfast Unemployment Statistics
Since the introduction of Universal Credit, The Department for Work & Pensions have not issued any statistics (in our view) that can be used to ascertain the levels of unemployment or under employment in the UK, just meaningless geographic counts. However, the Office of National Statistics does publish claimant counts of people receiving out of work benefits, be that legacy Jobseeker’s Allowance or Universal Credit as a proportion of people over 16. These figures are usually updated once a month and are for Local Authority Districts and Unitary Authority Districts. So below are the figures of Teignbridge.Area | Unemployed | Yearly Change |
---|
Teignbridge | 2% | -0.4% |
South West | 2.5% | -0.4% |
England | 3.8% | -0.3% |
UK | 3.7% | -0.3% |
The 2021 census had data on people who were economically active (seeking work) yet unemployed on Census day (Sunday March 21st 2021). These statitics do cover Buckfast on a ward level. However, it has to be noted that the Census day was during the height of the Covid19 pandemic and therefore are not reflective of normal levels of unemployment. For example, between March 2020 and June 2020 people claiming Universal Credit doubled in most areas of the United Kingdom and then steadily declined up to the day of the Census and beyond. This data also contains the proportion of people in part-time work (working between 1-35 hours per week), which maybe an indicator of under employment in Buckfast.Economic Status | Proportion |
---|
In Employment | 55.14% |
In Part-Time Work | 36.57% |

63.43% of the people in work, are in full-time employment in BuckfastBuckfast Age Distribution Statistics
