The population of the UK at 30 June 2017 exceeded 66 million people (66,040,229), an increase of 392,000 people since mid-2016. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding. These maps, alongside table MYE6, show that within the UK there are clear local differences in age structures. In addition, Figure 1 shows that the reduction in the level of population growth is driven by lower levels of net international migration compared to recent years and the lowest level of natural change since mid-2006. <>/ExtGState<>/XObject<>/ProcSet[/PDF/Text/ImageB/ImageC/ImageI] >>/Annots[ 10 0 R] /MediaBox[ 0 0 595.32 841.92] /Contents 4 0 R/Group<>/Tabs/S/StructParents 0>> Similar factors may also contribute to the high net outflows from many provincial cities. Nevertheless, the population is still growing faster than at any time since the post war ‘baby boom’ and the expansion of the EU in 2004.”, Neil Park, Head of Population Estimates Unit, Office for National Statistics. Table 2: Age structure of the Gloucestershire population, mid-2017 Age Band Number of people 2017 Gloucestershire % South West % England and Wales % 0-19 141,353 22.5 22.1 23.6 20-64 354,574 56.4 56.1 58.2 65 and over 132,212 21.0 21.8 18.2 Table 3 shows that from 2016 to 2017, population growth in Gloucestershire was fastest in Population change (2007 – 2017)4 Gloucestershire’s population has increased by approximately 42,700 people or 7.3% since 2007. It is important to consider the breadth and depth of demographic variation that constitutes South Gloucestershire, as any statistics presented for South Gloucestershire as a whole may not reveal issues that hide beneath, and opportunities to improve health and tackle inequalities may be missed. The icon links to further information about a selected place including its population structure (gender, age groups, age distribution, passport, country of birth, ethnic group, religion). Stroud is a market town and civil parish in the centre of Gloucestershire, England.It is the main town in Stroud District.. 0 ",#(7),01444'9=82. Flow levels were largest for people aged 19 to 29 years. This is not the latest release. This is equivalent to a growth of 7.0% in population %PDF-1.5 This shows that were there to be a typical local authority in the UK in the year to mid-2017 its population of 168,900 people would have: gained 590 people through net international migration, a decrease from 860 in the year to mid-2016, gained 410 people through natural change, a decrease from 490 in the year to mid-2016, gained and lost 8,990 people through internal migration (which on average will always net to no change), compared with 8,000 people in the year to mid-2016 (internal migration methods changed in mid-2017, the new method estimates higher numbers of moves than the previous one). While men’s retirement age in mid-2017 had not yet moved from 65 to 66, the state pension age for women was in the process of moving from 60 to 65. While the rate of population growth in the year to mid-2017 was slower than in recent years it remains above that seen in the period before 2004. ",#(7),01444'9=82. Internal migration is a component used in the production of the mid-2017 population estimates for England and Wales. For example, from the mid-2011 estimates (derived from the 2011 Census) to the mid-2017 estimates Tower Hamlets had notably higher growth than any other area at 20% over the six-year period, growing from 256,000 to 308,000 people. You should be aware that the mid-year population estimates will continue to remain the official population estimates for England and Wales, carrying the National Statistics accreditation. Net flows to Scotland (from England and Wales) were highest for people aged 18 to 20 and net flows from Scotland (to England and Wales) were highest for people aged 22 to 25 years. <> In Figure 11 where the solid pyramid (moves) is wider than the outline pyramid (population), people at that age have a higher propensity to move. The effect is most pronounced in London and other areas that have seen high levels of immigration in recent years. Output areas often include some unbuilt parts. Benefits delivered from ongoing administrative data research will be used to better understand the current population estimates process and drive potential improvements wherever possible. 4 0 obj There were 121 local authorities with more people moving out than in, of which 24 had a net outflow of more than 10 per 1,000 population (mid-2016). The population of all built-up areas (or their subdivisions) in South West England with 500 inhabitants or more. The lower level of net international migration is driven by both more people leaving the UK (emigration up 9%) and fewer people arriving in the UK (immigration down 12%) while the reduction in natural change is due to both fewer births and more deaths.
