2001, 245 people identified as Christian, however, by the 2011 census this had decreased to just 171, there has also been a decline between 2001 and 2011 in those who identify as either other, from 3 to 1, and those who do not state their religion, from 31 down to 19.

Housing and deprivation The amount of housing in Parham has varied over time, in 1831, the number of houses in the village was just 59, however, 10 years later, in 1841 the amount of housing had increased to 100, this could have been due to industrialisation of the area and people moving to Parham for work. The number of houses in the area stayed at around 100, except for in 1851 when the amount of housing rose to 109, but then falling back down to 100 at the next census date in 1881. In the time from 1891 and 1901, some houses were either knocked down or the parish's boundary lines changed as there were only 96 houses in the village in 1901, dropping from 101 in 1891.

Using modern census data, from both 2001 and 2011, we can compare the village size with previous years, in the 2001 data we can see that the number of households in the village was 95, with 27 being 1 person households. There were 64 houses that had families in, and 4 houses which were used for "other purposes". In 2011, there were 95 houses in Parham, again with 27 being one person households, there was 62 houses that were owned by families. There were 4 households describes as "other in this census."
