Demographics and Leaflet Distribution in Pollokshaws and Pollokshields
A demographic analysis of the Pollokshaws and Pollokshields areas (the G41 and G43 postal districts) shows that they have a contrasting mix of demographic types. The residents comprise a mixture of affluent and less affluent social groups. The area also has a relatively large South Asian community with many people being of Pakistani origin. This means that you may need to be selective when deciding which areas to target with your leaflet distribute.
From a leaflet distribution perspective, it is interesting that while approximately 80% of the geographic area 
is made up of affluent households, less than 60% of the population falls into the more affluent demographic types. The reason for this is that the less affluent areas are made up of tenement and tower block housing so the population density is much higher compared with the more affluent areas which are made up of large detached and semi-detached houses.
