Milton electoral ward · boundaries: May 2026. Every figure carries its own date.
What stands out here?
Homes rented privately: 21% here, compared with 14% across New Forest (6.7 percentage points higher).
A larger private-rented sector changes the mix of housing advice, enforcement and tenant support needed. It does not tell us whether individual homes are affordable or safe.

People aged 16+ with a degree or equivalent: 25% here, compared with 31.2% across New Forest (6.2 percentage points lower).
Qualifications show local skills, not whether people have secure jobs or use those skills at work.

What these numbers include
Approximate published locations, not every crime or personal risk.
Anti-social behaviour is separate. Transport police and records without usable locations are excluded.
Do not compare directly with Scottish council-level recorded crime totals.
These are retrieved mapped records, not a guarantee of complete crime reporting. Approximate locations and unmapped incidents limit comparisons.
Missing ward-months invalidate totals and changes. Busy centres attract visitors, so residential population is not a measure of the number of people exposed.
A project elsewhere in the borough may matter here, but its location does not prove who benefits. Only verified ward associations are attached to a neighbourhood.
