Limitations of ONS population projections… Only available at local authority level All ONS population projections are ‘policy off’ No assumptions for future levels of housing development
In summary… By 2037, South Glos’ population projected to rise to 318.4k (+52K / +20%) Higher rate of growth than national average but lower than (long-term) historic growth Drivers of population change: Natural change + internal migration are projected to be the largest components of change Age structural changes: Flatter population structure projected in k more residents 65+yrs 15.2K more residents 80+yrs Dependency ratio projected to rise from 57% to 74% Official population projections are generally plausible, but, More recent (2013 MYE’s suggest actual growth is higher than projected) – economic recovery? : Official projections ‘policy off’
Conclusion An ageing population will have implications for all council services Issues are not unique to South Gloucestershire Projected changes broadly in-line with national averages Changes will be gradual But we should start to plan for them now
