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 2037 • 32k 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
