Hackney Key Facts.Cdr Hackney Key Facts Produced by the Research & Statistics Team Issue 1 - November 2004 POPULATION + Hackney’s estimated resident population in 2003 was 208,365. 102,367 were males (49.1%) and 105,998 were females (50.9%). The population showed a drop of 524 residents from the previous year. In 2002 the resident population was 208,889, with 102,304 males (49%) and 106,585 females (51%). (Source: Mid-Year Estimates, ONS Population Estimates Unit) + The estimated resident population figures for 2002 and 2003 show that the gap between the numbers of males and females is slowly closing. In Census 2001 the borough’s female population was 52% and the male population 48%. Hackney had the second highest numbers of 0-4 year olds in Greater London (8.3%), with Newham (8.5%) being the largest in this age range. Those aged between 30 and 44 years of age represented the largest population group in Hackney and comprised 27.5% of the borough’s total population. (Source: Census 2001) + The mean age of Hackney’s residents is 32, compared to 38 for England and Wales. The large size of this age group is consistent with trends for London and the UK. (Source: Census 2001) + Between the Censuses in 1991 and 2001, the population of Hackney increased by 11.9% from 181,248 in ‘91 to 202,824 ten years later. Hackney Population Growth: 1991-2003 (Mid-Year Estimates) Source: Mid-Year Estimates - ONS Population Estimates Unit Under 5’s (Census 2001) + At the 1991 Census the number of under 5’s in Hackney was 15,256 which accounted for 8.4% of the total population. + Although the number of under 5’s had increased at the next Census in 2001 (16,752) the percentage of the population that this age group represented had remained consistent (8.3%). Aged 65 or Over (Census 2001) + The number of residents who were aged 65 or over at the 1991 Census was 21,986, making up 12.1% of the borough’s population. + At Census 2001 this figure had shown a noticeable decline, with 18,932 Hackney residents aged 65 or over (9.3% of the total population). PEOPLE Marital Status + Even though 76% of Hackney’s population are aged 16 or over, 41% of these people are single and have never been married. 12.3% of Hackney’s adult population live in cohabiting couple households. (Source: Census 2001) Qualifications + There were 18,596 full-time students in Hackney in 2001, which accounted for 12.6% of the working aged population. + The number of ‘economically active’ full-time students (those working to support themselves during their studies) was 5,148. This was the 6th highest figure of the 33 Greater London boroughs and the 39th largest out of 376 local authorities in the whole of England and Wales. + 32.9% of Hackney’s working aged population stated that they had a higher level qualification (first degree, higher degree, NVQ levels 4 and 5, HND, HNC and certain professional qualifications). This is significantly higher than the England and Wales average of 19.8%. (Source: Census 2001) Health and the Provision of Unpaid Care + 68.4% of Hackney residents stated on the Census form that they were generally in ‘good’ health, which is close to the UK average (68.6%) but lower than the figure for London (70.7%). + Hackney is one of 5 London boroughs which has a proportion of more than 15% of working aged people who have a limiting long-term illness. The borough’s figure (15.96%) makes it the 2nd highest of all the London boroughs, with only Barking and Dagenham having a higher figure (15.97%). + 7% of Hackney's working age population (10,340 people) are permanently sick or disabled. This is the highest amount in Greater London and the borough is ranked 70th amongst local authorities in England and Wales. + The provision of unpaid care by residents was measured for the first time at Census level in 2001. 62.1% of all unpaid carers (4.7% of the borough's total population) provided care for up to 19 hours per week. 7.6% of Hackney residents are unpaid carers. + Hackney has the 3rd highest proportion of unpaid carers who provide 50 or more hours of unpaid care per week (23%) within Inner London. The neighbouring borough of Tower Hamlets has the highest proportion at 27.8%. (Source: Census 2001) Transport + 37% of Hackney households own or have access to one car or van, compared to the London average (43%) and the figure for England and Wales (43.8%). 56% of Hackney households do not have a car; much higher than the London (37%) and England and Wales (27%) averages. + 50.7% of Hackney residents used public transport to travel to work, putting the borough in the top ten local authorities in England and Wales for this mode of travel. 21.7% travelled to work by car; much lower than in London (36%) and England and Wales (61.5%). (Source: Census 2001) ETHNICITY + Hackney's largest ethnic minority groups are Other Whites (12.3%), Black Africans (12%) and Black Caribbean's (10.3%). + The Black African group indicates the largest increase from the Census in 1991: this group's size almost doubled between 1991 and 2001 (going up from 12,204 to 24,290). + The size of the Black Caribbean community has remained relatively consistent between the last two Censuses: in 1991 this group made up 11.3% of the borough’s population, and in 2001 it was 10.3%. Despite a small fall in the percentage figures the actual numbers of Black Caribbeans increased slightly from 20,396 in 1991 to 20,876 in 2001. + The numbers in the White community have changed very little over 10 years (120,484 in 1991 and 120,468 in 2001) though this group now makes up a smaller proportion of Hackney’s total population (they accounted for 66.5% of the population in 1991 but this had decreased to 59.4% in 2001). + 44.1% of all people in Hackney are White British. Hackney was one of 8 Greater London boroughs reflecting 'Other White' populations of more than 12%, with Kensington and Chelsea (25.3%), Westminster (21.1%) and Haringey (16.1%) having the highest percentages for this ethnic group. + Hackney's non-white ethnic groups make up 40.6% of its total population. This ranks the borough 6th within London behind Newham (60.6%), Brent (54.7%), Tower Hamlets (48.6%), Ealing (41.3%) and Harrow (41.2%). (Source: 1991 and 2001 Censuses) Comparison between 1991 and 2001 Censuses for Corresponding Ethnicity Categories* Source: 1991 and 2001 Censuses 1111 * Note: Census 2001 saw the previously singular 'White' ethnicity category broken down into 'British', 'Irish' and 'Other' - people were also given the chance to classify themselves as being of a 'Mixed' ethnicity. Black African Community (Census 2001) + The largest concentrations of Black African residents are around Woodberry Down Estate, Stamford Hill Estate, the area around Hackney Downs, the Clapton Park area, South Hackney, and around Haggerston and Hoxton. Black Caribbean Community (Census 2001) + The Black Caribbean community are mostly concentrated around Upper Clapton, the Clapton Park area and the areas around Navarino Road and Hackney Downs. RELIGION + Religion was recorded for the first time at Census 2001. + Hackney's largest religious groups were recorded as Christians (46.6%), Muslim (13.8%) and the Jewish (5.3%). The 'Religion' question on the Census form was voluntary, and the 5.3% figure for the Jewish community is certainly an undercount, with the charedi (or ultra orthodox Jewish) community alone representing between 8 and 10% of the borough's total population (souce: 'Torah, worship and acts of loving kindness' Christine Holman and Naomi Holman, De Montfort University, November 2002). + 19% of Hackney's population stated that they did not have a religion and 12% did not state their religion at all. It should be noted that some ethnic and religious groups are reluctant to specify their religious and ethnic groups based on various ethical, moral and safety grounds. + 58% of people in London gave their religion as Christian, 8% as Muslims and 4% as Hindu. + In England and Wales, 72% of respondents said that they were Christian, while 14.8% said they did not have a religion. The Religion question on the Census form was voluntary and 7.7% of people chose not to respond to it. (Source: Census 2001) Religion (Census 2001)* * Note: Figures have been rounded up and exclude those who did not state their religion; the Jewish figure has been revised because of undercounting Jewish Community (Census 2001) + Jewish people have been in Hackney since the 1680’s and a large orthodox community has built up around Stamford Hill in the north of the borough (as can be clearly seen on the map). + This area is home to the biggest Jewish community in Europe and the third largest in the world after Israel and New York. Muslim Community (Census 2001) + Muslims are the second largest religious group in Hackney; 27,908 residents stated their religion as Muslim at Census 2001. + The map shows a wide-spread distribution of Muslim residents, with concentrations around Woodberry Down, Upper Clapton, Hackney Downs, Clapton Park, South Hackney, Haggerston and Hoxton. ECONOMIC ACTIVITY Main Employers + The 5 main employers in the borough are Hackney Council, The Learning Trust, The Primary Care Trust, Homerton University Hospital NHS Trust and Network Rail. Unemployment + In September 2004, there were 7,691 people claiming Jobseekers Allowance or National Insurance Credits, which amounts to 5.5% of the working age population.

  • Hackney Planning Watch Response to Proposed
    Hackney Planning Watch Response to Hackney Council on the proposal for the establishment of a Neighbourhood Forum covering the wards of Springfield, New River, Lordship and Cazenove January 2013 1 Introduction: These are our objections to the submitted proposal to formally designate the four wards: Springfield, New River, Lordship and Cazenove as a ‘Neighbourhood Forum’. As we understand it a group describing itself as the ‘Stamford Hill Neighbourhood Forum’ is seeking designation of four wards in Hackney (Springfield, New River, Lordship and Cazenove) as a ‘Neighbourhood Forum’. Hackney Planning Watch wishes to object in the strongest possible terms to this proposal. Although it will be evident from the four wards listed, the area proposed by the ‘Stamford Hill’ Neighbourhood Forum covers a much wider area than Stamford Hill and does in fact include Stoke Newington, Clissold Park and Upper Clapton. Hackney Planning Watch has a long history as a community organisation in the area. It was established over 15 years ago as a community group composed of local residents concerned about planning issues in Hackney, particularly the unlawful construction and the failure of the Council to deal properly with enforcement. In the last year some of our members have attempted to help build a cross-community alliance in order to develop a genuine consensual approach to the difficult planning issues in the area. These include, as well as enforcement issues, the lack of effective management of open space, protection of the environment, particularly in relation to drainage and tree preservation, and inadequate social infrastructure to meet the needs of the population.

The approach for the project was about early, ongoing and honest dialogue with those who live, work and visit the area so that they can influence change in their community. The Conversation focused on two streams of work: Moving around Hackney Central and community mapping exercise. Moving around Hackney Central The Council was previously awarded £10m of funding from Transport for London through the Liveable Neighbourhood Scheme to transform Hackney Central by reducing traffic in the area and redesigning its three dangerous junctions – Pembury Circus, Mare Street/Graham Road and Mare Street/Morning Lane – to make them safer for cyclists, pedestrians and public transport users.
