Population change between 2001 and 2011 was not evenly spread across Milton Keynes
Map 1 outlines the change in population by estate between 2001 and 2011. The majority of areas experiencing a large increase in population were those which have had housing development over the last 10 years. These include Broughton & Atterbury (+3,000 people), Oxley Park (+2,400), Broughton Gate (+2,200), and Grange Farm (+2,000). These estatees did not exist in 2001. Some more established areas also had housing development which contributed to population growth such as Central Milton Keynees (+1,500) and Wolverton (+1,300).
Some estates in Milton Keynes increased in size due to an increase in the number of people per household. For example the average household size of Fishermead increased from 2.7 to 3.0. This helped the population increase by 29.9% (+1,200 people).

Conversely some areas, shown in blue on the map, have seen a decline in the population. The largest decrease occurred in Blakelands (-100), Woolstone (-100) and Far Bletchley (-100). This is caused by a declining number of families with children in the area resulting in a decrease in household size.

Map 3 highlights that Campbell Park (89.2%), Granby (88.7%) and Central Milton Keynes (87.7%) had the highest proportion of 16-64 year olds.
