March 2011 Issue: 2/11 Mid-2009 parish population estimates for Norfolk This report covers the County Council’s population estimates for mid-2009 for parishes and unparished areas in Norfolk. The figures have been controlled to the Registrar General’s Mid Year Estimates, and population estimates for Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs) published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Norfolk’s population is an estimated 853,400 in mid-2009. Estimates for all other areas such as wards, county electoral divisions, primary care organisations and service department areas are available to view or download through Norfolk Insight www.norfolkinsight.org.uk Our parish estimates for mid-2007 and mid-2008 were included in Issue 3/10, August 2010. This report can also be accessed and downloaded through Norfolk Insight www.norfolkinsight.org.uk/population Headline analysis • We have produced mid-2009 population estimates for all the parishes in Norfolk • There are around 70,000 people living in parishes of under 500 people • 27 per cent of the population live in the unparished areas of Norwich, King’s Lynn and Great Yarmouth • The population of Norwich built-up area is estimated as around 216,000, Great Yarmouth built-up area 73,700 and King’s Lynn built-up area 46,100 • See www.norfolkinsight.org.uk/population for more detail, including estimates for wards and other areas Estimates method LSOA population estimates for mid-2009 are published by ONS and are consistent with the Mid Year Estimates of population. • The LSOA estimates were aggregated where possible to give estimates for wards and parishes (LSOAs are sub-divisions of wards). The ward estimates should be the same as those of ONS, which are not available till some time later than those for LSOAs. In order to produce estimates for all remaining parishes and unparished areas, we used look-up tables (created from population estimates taken from GP Patient Registers), to apportion LSOA estimates to smaller areas; The figures are fully consistent with the ONS estimates for LSOAs, and hence with estimates for local authorities. In the last two years we have made adjustments to a very small number of parishes (Swanton Morley, Griston, Scottow and Sloley) to compensate for the use of Patient Registers to distribute the ONS estimates within LSOAs, given that some armed forces and prisoners are not included in Patient Registers (For the details, see Issue 3/10, August 2010). For the 2009 estimates we discontinued these adjustments. • With the closure of RAF Coltishall, the Scottow and Sloley figures should not be affected • The Swanton Morley and Griston unadjusted estimates were sufficiently close to our final 2008 estimates. Boundary changes and new parishes The current District Council wards (205 in total) came into effect in either 2003 or 2004, depending on the District concerned. Including the parish of Walcott (created in April 2008) there are 541 parishes in Norfolk and three unparished areas. The parish of Corpusty, in North Norfolk, changed its name to Corpusty and Saxthorpe on 1 April 2007 (under Section 75 of the Local Government Act 1072). Presentation of the results The following tables include the parish estimates arranged by local authority area. More detailed results are available on Norfolk Insight www.norfolkinsight.org.uk/population including: 2 • A table with parish estimates grouped within the relevant ward, including the names of the parish wards where appropriate to remove any ambiguity (the parishes concerned are Hopton-on-Sea, Sprowston, Stow Bardolph and Walsoken); • Look-up tables relating parishes, wards and districts: firstly ordered by parish name, and secondly ordered by ward name. Note that there are two parishes of the same name (Roydon) and four cases where there are two wards of the same name (Nelson, Priory, Wensum and Wissey) in different Districts. Number of parishes by population size in mid-2009 Number Population Population % Unparished areas 3 228,113 26.7 Parishes by population size: 10,000 and over 11 150,659 17.7 1,000 to 9,999 128 323,720 37.9 500 to 999 117 80,985 9.5 100 to 499 235 67,085 7.9 Under 100 50 2,808 0.3 100.0 As the table shows, the unparished areas accounted for around 27 per cent of the County’s population. At the other extreme, there were around 70,000 people living in those relatively small parishes of fewer than 500 people, forming just over 8 per cent of the County total. Parishes range in population size from Thetford (24,200) to Stanford (10), and there are two parishes (Sturston and Tottington) with nil population. The population of the built-up areas are now estimated at Norwich 216,000, Great Yarmouth 73,700 and King’s Lynn 46,100. Figures can also be provided for areas such as market towns. Revision of estimates for previous years We have decided not to revise our parish estimates for previous years to take account of the revised ONS local authority estimates for 2002 to 2008 published in May 2010. In the vast majority of cases the revisions would have been very small. The changes are more significant at local authority level, particularly for Norwich, and the effect of these changes have been described in Issue 2/10 (July 2010). Further information Population estimates for 2001 through to 2008 (excluding 2005) are available through Norfolk Insight: www.norfolkinsight.org.uk/population . Estimates at local authority level for mid-2010 are due for publication by ONS on 30 June 2011.
