Salford's homes, by the numbers
Salford in the 2021 census: 115,117 households, 70% houses, 30% flats.
Under half of Salford's homes are owner-occupied, and better than a quarter of households live in purpose-built flats around Ordsall, the Quays, Blackfriars and Trinity. A great deal of that housing is recent, and recent construction brings a problem that old buildings do not have.
Salford spans striking waterfront apartments at Salford Quays and MediaCityUK, dense Victorian terraces in Ordsall and Eccles, and the affluent, leafy village of Worsley with its period and detached homes. It is a city of contrasts, young professionals in new-build flats alongside established families in traditional streets.
A newly poured slab or screed holds water from the mix and gives it up over months rather than weeks, more slowly still where the building is sealed and unheated. The test is a moisture reading taken in the room, not the age of the building.
