Download this table Table 1 Population change, Between and , seven of the nine regions in England grew in population size, while the North East and North West declined. Between and , all regions experienced population growth and those that grew in the preceding year period grew by a greater amount.
Of the population growth between and , the highest was in London which gained over , residents, an increase of The South East of England also experienced large growth, , residents, and an increase of 7.
The lowest increase was in the North East, which nonetheless gained 56, residents in the 10 years since the last census, an increase of 2. The population size of all regions, apart from the North East and the North West, increased every year period between and However, the populations of the North East and the North West both decreased slightly from to , then grew between and In the South East had the largest population, and the second largest was the North West.
By the population of London was larger than that of the North West. In , the South East remained the region with the largest population.
The North East had the smallest regional population throughout. These differences in rates of growth shown in Figure 5 Population by region, 1 may relate to movement of both international and internal migrants towards London and the South East.
Also, areas with older populations are likely to have relatively more deaths and fewer births. There is a large difference between England and Wales in population change due to numbers of births and deaths. In England, 45 per cent of the growth between and was due to there being more births than deaths, whereas in Wales it was 8 per cent.
Local and unitary authorities vary in population size, the largest local authorities will tend to also show the largest absolute changes in terms of the number of people and therefore population change at this level is presented by percentage changes. The population changes for local and unitary authorities between and 2 ranged from growth of Of the local and unitary authorities, grew during this year period, and 17 saw a decrease.
The local and unitary authorities showing highest population growth and decline are shown in Table 2 and 3 Local and unitary authorities with the highest growth, and local and unitary authorities with the lowest growth or decline in the population between 1 and Overall, 10 of the 20 local and unitary authorities with the highest percentage growth were in London; this contributed to the fact that London as a whole showed the greatest growth across England and Wales.
Tower Hamlets and Newham were the only local or unitary authorities to show growth of over 20 per cent, continuing previous growth. Both grew by over 15 per cent between and , and both also grew between and Manchester was the third fastest growing of the local and unitary authorities, and experienced the greatest percentage population growth outside the London region, with an increase of Almost half of the local authorities with a declining population were in the North West, and a further four were in the North East, reflecting the generally lower growth rates in these regions.
Most of these areas are urban, and several have experienced decline in traditional manufacturing industries. In 14 local and unitary authorities the population stayed within 1 per cent of the size of the population. These include six of the 17 local authorities whose population decreased.

As discussed in How the population of England and Wales has changed over the last years there has been a long-term trend towards an ageing population. Table 4 Number of residents aged 65 and over, 1 and compares the populations aged 65 and over in and for regions of England, and Wales. In , the percentage of the population aged 65 and over in each region, excluding London, ranged from London showed a decrease in the percentage of people aged 65 and over in the same year period.
Download this table Table 4 Number of residents aged 65 and over, and Map 1 Population aged 65 and over, further shows geographic locations of residents aged 65 and over in The local and unitary authorities with higher percentages of residents aged 65 and over were particularly concentrated along the coast in the South West, South East, and East of England regions.
In 11 local and unitary authorities more than a quarter of the population was aged 65 and over; most of these areas were in the East or South West of England, as well as mid Wales and the North Wales coast. The three local authorities with the highest percentages of residents aged 65 and over were North Norfolk By contrast, local and unitary authorities with large urban concentrations tended to have relatively few older residents.
In 13 local and unitary authorities, less than 10 per cent of the population was aged 65 and over; of these, only Manchester and Slough were not in the London region. Other areas with low proportions of residents aged 65 and over included university cities such as Cambridge, Oxford, Leicester, and Nottingham.
By contrast, the proportion of residents of younger ages in England and Wales has continually fallen over the last years. As shown in How the population of England and Wales has changed over the last years the 0 to 14 year-old age group formed Figure 6 Population change in number of residents aged 0 to 14, - , Wales, English regions Source: Office for National Statistics Download this chart Figure 6 Population change in number of residents aged 0 to 14, - , Wales, English regions Image.
Figure 6 Population change in number of residents aged 0 to 14, 1 compares the population aged 0 to 14 in and for regions of England, and Wales. During this period, there was a decline in the number of residents aged 0 to 14 in all regions apart from London, East of England and South East.
London showed the largest increase, 12 per cent, in the 0 to 14 age band. However, in , there were , more children under five in England and Wales than in This was an increase of Figure 7 Population change in number of residents aged 15 to 64, 1 compares the population aged 15 to 64 in and for Wales and regions of England.
During this period, there was an increase in the number of residents aged 15 to 64 ranging from 4 to 9 per cent in all regions, apart from London. London showed the largest increase, This increase is due in part to migration into England and Wales since migrants tend to be predominantly young working-age adults. However, it is also due to the fact that the number of people aged in their late 50s and early 60s in was relatively low and these cohorts are no longer in this age band.
They have been replaced by larger cohorts. This point is illustrated by looking at Figure 4 Population by age and sex, and The resident totals in conjunction with land area information allow the calculation of population density. In England and Wales there were residents per square kilometre compared with in , in , and in However, population density varies geographically.
When the average population densities for England and Wales are calculated separately, there were and residents per square kilometre respectively. The difference between the two countries is in part due to the very high population density of the London region, 5, residents per square kilometre, or 14 times the England and Wales average. All other regions in England had population densities of between and residents per square kilometre, with the average being people per square kilometre in England excluding London.
The 19 most densely populated local and unitary authorities in England and Wales were all London boroughs, as shown in Table 5 Highest population density, The only non-London area in the top 20 was Portsmouth. Of the 33 London local authorities, all were within the top most densely populated in England and Wales, and 28 were within the top The least densely populated London area was Bromley, with 2, residents per square kilometre; this was still over five times the population density of England and Wales as a whole.

Download this table Table 5 Highest population density, Table 6 Lowest population density, shows that five of the 20 local and unitary authorities with lowest population density were in Wales. Map 2 Population density, shows the relatively densely populated area stretching eastwards from Liverpool and Manchester to the West Yorkshire conurbation of Leeds and Bradford.
Also visible as relatively densely populated are the areas around Newcastle and Birmingham, and the Hampshire coast between Southampton and Portsmouth. London is clearly the most densely populated region of England and Wales. International comparisons show England to have been more densely populated in than any of the G8 2 countries. Compared with the EU27 3 , England was the third most densely populated country, after the Netherlands and Malta.

You can also ask your Collector or the call the Census Inquiry Service if you need more forms.. If you are overseas on Census night, you do not need to complete the Census. If there is no one staying at your house on Census night, you should call the CIS on so we can let your Census Collector know. More information is available online at www. According to the EU regulation on population housing censuses, each member state in the EU will have to demonstrate how they plan to enumerate the total population and homeless people.
This survey includes an overview of the methods applied by other countries United States, Russia, Australia to enumerated homeless people and of the methods EU countries intent to use for the censuses. The recommendations given in this report aim to facilitate the work of national statistics offices on this issue.
