The Phillip Whitehead Memorial Library, Chaddesden Park Library Catchment Profile For organisations wishing to submit an Application to manage The Phillip Whitehead Memorial Library, Chaddesden Park V1 4 September 2017 1 Demography The Phillip Whitehead Memorial Library catchment contains approximately 8,150 households and covers a population of approximately 19,3001 Derby residents, or approximately 7.6% of Derby’s population2. Of the resident population, 48.8% are male and 51.2% are female2. This is a slightly higher female population than the Derby average of 50.5%2. Figure 1 – Comparative age profile of The Phillip Whitehead Memorial Library catchment, 20142 1 Derived from Office for National Statistics, Mid-year estimate of population, 2014 (household figure via Experian Ltd, Mosaic Public Sector, 2015) . 2 Please note, libraries serve not only Derby residents but people who work in, go to school/college/university in, shop in and visit Derby. However, whilst some library catchments extend beyond the city boundary, the demographic and socio-economic information included in this profile only relates to Derby residents living within the library catchment. 2 As illustrated in Figure 1 above, the age profile of the population within The Phillip Whitehead Memorial Library is notably older than that of Derby overall2. When compared to the Derby profile, it is evident that a greater percentage of the population is aged 45 years and over – this is especially noticeable for people of pension age (65 years and above). Consequently, whilst there are a similar number of young people (aged 0-19 years) within the catchment, there are significantly fewer people of younger working age (aged 20-39 years).
