Title: UK 2011 census results (early stuff)
Post by: Filuwaúrdjan on July 20, 2012, 07:58:20 PM
The Grauniad has a nice table of population stuff (including population change) by local authority in England and Wales:

Manchester grew the most, which is quite a turnaround though perhaps not a surprise. But interesting patterns all over; in Wales only Blaenau Gwent lost population, and then not by much.

Nice. Though according to the map some authorities in London grew faster than Manchester. Tower Hamlets was at 26%, Newham is at 23% and Hackney matches Manchester's 19%.

Wow, amazingly stable. Very few authorities that are losing people, and the one with the biggest decline only at 4%. What's up with that?

As expected, my area was one of the few that shrunk.

It's a shame there's no 'of voting age' column - really makes any comparison worthless, because you end up needing to include non-voting 15-17 year olds.

We don't like moving far unless there's not much option.

JSYK, I still believe the hypothesis put forward by TESCO PLC  that there are 77 million people in the UK when unregistered citizens, tourists, studentsm and Illegal immigration is included.

Scotland will not be releasing results till the end of the year :( The estimated population mid 2011 was 5.25 million, our highest ever. Well it's about time...
