Tenubracon Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Radio 4 just said the census showed a 7% increase in the population since 2001. mostly through immigration. Not sure if I heard the next bit correctly, but I think they said that 1 in 6 of the 7% was over 60. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yellerkat Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Peliminary ONS LINK. On census night the population in England and Wales was 56.1 million, 53.0 million in England and 3.1 million in Wales. This was the largest the population had ever been. The population of England and Wales grew by 3.7 million in the 10 years since the last census, rising from 52.4 million in 2001, an increase of 7.1 per cent. This was the largest growth in the population in England and Wales in any 10-year period since census taking began, in 1801. The median age of the population in England and Wales was 39. For men, the median age was 38 and for women it was 40. In 1911, the median age was 25. The percentage of the population aged 65 and over was the highest seen in any census at 16.4 per cent, that is one in six people in the population was 65 and over. There were 430,000 residents aged 90 and over in 2011 compared with 340,000 in 2001 and 13,000 in 1911. In 2011, there were 3.5 million children under five in England and Wales, 406,000 more than in 2001. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Executive Sadman Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Population last year was estimated at 62mn for whole UK. Looks like if the census results for england are expanded for the rest of the country its nearer 67 million... i think its really around 80m personally... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
libspero Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 3,700,000 population increase.. How many more houses? Demand may remain pants, but the supply side frog keeps getting warmer. Not sure how long we can go on without either better population management or a lot more housing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ruffneck Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Largest increase was in Tower Hamlets and newham in London and in Manchester. Says it all. Plenty of third world immigrants moving into the slums , what are they going to do when the economy collapses soon? At least rural folk can grow their own food and have a few farm animals.London and Manchester offer a very grim future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Self Employed Youth Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 BBC How many new houses were built from 2001 to 2011? http://www.communities.gov.uk/housing/housingresearch/housingstatistics/housingstatisticsby/stockincludingvacants/livetables/ Table 125 2001 - census figures; 21 207 000 2011 estimate; 22 814 000 Estimated 7.5% increase? I suppose more new households have formed - lots of elderly living on their own in big houses, whilst young families live in tenement/slum housing HMOs. Housing inequality more than a lack of houses?

Self Employed Youth Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/census/2011-census/population-and-household-estimates-for-england-and-wales/stb-e-w.html#tab-How-many-households-there-were-in-2011 There were 23.4 million households in England and Wales on 27 March 2011, a 7.5 per cent increase on the 21.7 million households in 2001. This was the second lowest percentage increase in households found between censuses in the last 100 years1, as growth in households between censuses has typically ranged between 8 and 17 per cent. Only the period between 1991 and 2001 showed lower growth, at 7.2 per cent. Figure 9 Number of household residents2 and households, 19111 ,3,6 - 2011 shows growth in the number of households compared to population growth between 1911 and 2011. Regional and local and unitary authority differences in average household size Average household size was similar in each region, ranging between 2.3 (in the North East) and 2.5 (in London). At local and unitary authority level there was more variation. The lowest average household size was in City of London (1.6) followed by Kensington and Chelsea (2.0). Other local authorities with average household sizes of 2.2 or less were primarily coastal areas, although Chesterfield and Salford were also at this level. The local authority with the highest average household size was Newham (3.0), followed by Harrow (2.8). Some neighbouring local authorities also had average household sizes above 2.6. This information is critical for local authorities for assessing and planning for housing needs. Future 2011 Census releases will include further detail about numbers and types of households. I want to find figures for the average size of a dwelling. It seems the amount of properties, population and number of household have all risen at roughly 7.5%. But this doesn't tell you about what type of properties people are living in. Lots of crappy little flats opposed to the decent council houses of yester-generation. I want to know the GIFA, the ceiling height. Are we living in mansions or sheds with beds? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
