Over the past decade, births within Basingstoke and Deane have increased from about 1,800 per annum to 2,100 in 2008/09, while deaths have remained relatively stable between 1,100 and 1,200 per annum. The difference between the level of births and the level of deaths (currently about 900 people per annum in the Borough) is referred to as “natural change”. So using this trend as a starting point, we would have 900 additional people to accommodate every year. For at least half a century, people have been changing their living patterns to the extent that the average size of a household (average number of people living in a home) has continued to decline, both nationally and locally. Between 1951 and 2001, the average household size within Hampshire decreased from 3.23 persons to 2.39 – one additional home for every four existing homes was needed to house the same population – without any allowance for natural change or migration. Likewise, within Basingstoke and Deane, the average household size fell from 2.64 persons to 2.45 in the decade from 1991 to 2001. Within just 10 years this reduction resulted in the formation of 4,265 additional households in the Borough. When combined with natural change, this means that a total of 7,300 extra households were created within the Borough without counting any net in- migration (i.e. people moving into the borough).
