Current Population of Gloucestershire (Mid-2018) an Overview Current Population of Gloucestershire (Mid-2018) An Overview Data & Analysis Team Gloucestershire County Council [email protected] Current Population of Gloucestershire (Mid-2018) An Overview The population of Gloucestershire was estimated to be around 633,558 in 2018, representing a rise of approximately 5,419 people since 2017. This is the equivalent to a growth of 0.9% in population from 2017 to 2018, which was higher than the rate of growth for England and Wales which stood at 0.6%. The district of Gloucester has the largest population in the county and the Forest of Dean has the smallest. From 2017 to 2018, Tewkesbury had the fastest rate of growth in the county (2.5%) whilst Cheltenham had the lowest rate with a decline of -0.03%. Table 1: Gloucestershire and Districts Mid-Year Population Estimates, 2018 Change 2017 to % Change 2017 Population 2018 Population 2017 2018 to 2018 Gloucestershire 633,558 628,139 5,419 0.9% Cheltenham 117,090 117,128 -38 0.0% Cotswold 89,022 87,509 1,513 1.7% Forest of Dean 86,543 85,957 586 0.7% Gloucester 129,285 129,083 202 0.2% Stroud 119,019 118,130 889 0.8% Tewkesbury 92,599 90,332 2,267 2.5% South West 5,599,735 5,559,316 40,419 0.7% England 55,977,178 55,619,430 357,748 0.6% England and Wales 59,115,809 58,744,595 371,214 0.6% Great Britain 64,553,909 64,169,395 384,514 0.6% United Kingdom 66,435,550 66,040,229 395,321 0.6% United Kingdom Rankings of Local Authorities by percentage change It was mentioned above that Tewkesbury Borough is estimated to have grown the fastest over the past year with 2.5% increase in population 2017-2018. In fact it has the 5th highest growth amongst districts of the UK (see Table 2). Only City of London, Westminster, Camden and Tower Hamlets exceed it. The increases in the population in these four London Boroughs are largely driven by International Migration whereas in Tewkesbury it is largely driven by internal migration. The Cotswold District is ranked 19th of 391 districts again driven largely by internal migration as the natural change (births minus deaths) is negative. Stroud District and The Forest of Dean rank 115th and 139th. Gloucester and Cheltenham have low growth and are ranked 303rd and 347th respectively. Both these districts have negative internal migration rates and in Cheltenham’s case the population change is negative.

The working age population (aged 20-64) made up 56.2% of the population in Gloucestershire in 2018. This was slightly higher than the figure for South West, but lower than that for England and Wales. The proportion of people aged 65 or over (21.3%) was lower than that for South West but higher than that for England and Wales. The percentage of the population of working age in Gloucestershire at 56.2%, is nearly 2 percentage points lower than that of England and Wales, and has declined from 56.4% last year. The 90 years and over population continues to increase despite a decline in births in England and Wales 90 years ago; this reflects improvements in mortality going back many decades.

The rate of growth in the children and young people (0-19) population in Gloucestershire (0.6%) was slightly higher than the rates for the South West and England and Wales (0.3% and 0.5% respectively) whilst the growth in the working age (20-64) population of 0.5% was slightly higher than England and Wales and the same as the South West.

  • HEREFORDSHIRE Is Repeatedly Referred to in Domesday As Lying In
    ABO BLOOD GROUPS, HUMAN HISTORY AND LANGUAGE IN HEREFORDSHIRE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE LOW B FREQUENCY IN EUROPE I. MORGAN WATKIN County Health Department, Aberystwyth Received6.x.64 1.INTRODUCTION HEREFORDSHIREis repeatedly referred to in Domesday as lying in Wales and the county is regularly described as such in the Pipe Rolls until 1249-50. Of the two dozen or so charters granted to the county town, a number are addressed to the citizens of Hereford in Wales. That fluency in Welsh was until 1855oneof the qualifications for the post of clerk to the Hereford city magistrates indicated the county's bilingual nature. The object of the present investigation is to ascertain whether there is any significant genetic difference between the part of Herefordshire conquered by the Anglo-Saxons and the area called "Welsh Hereford- shire ".Assome moorland parishes have lost 50 per cent. of their inhabitants during the last 50 years, the need to carry out the survey is the more pressing. 2.THE HUMAN HISTORY OF HEREFORDSHIRE Pre-Norman Conquest Offa'sgeneral line of demarcation between England and Wales in the eighth century extending in Herefordshire from near Lyonshall to Bridge Sollars, about five miles upstream from Hereford, is inter- mittent in the well-wooded lowlands, being only found in the Saxon clearings. From this Fox (i) infers that the intervening forest with its dense thickets of thorn and bramble filling the space under the tree canopy was an impassable barrier. Downstream to Redbrook (Glos.) the river was probably the boundary but the ferry crossing from Beachley to Aust and the tidal navigational rights up the Wye were retained by the Welsh—facts which suggest that the Dyke was in the nature of an agreed frontier.

  • South Gloucestershire Area Profile
    SOUTH GLOUCESTERSHIRE: ! AREA PROFILE ! South Gloucestershire has one of the fastest growing populations in the South West, and the area is the second largest of the four unitary authorities of the West of England sub-region. The area of Kingswood, which borders Bristol, was a mining area and suffered through the decline of traditional industry. South Gloucestershire unitary authority area was formed in 1996 following the merger of Northavon District, a mainly rural area, and Kingswood Borough, a mainly urban area east of Bristol. Much of the recent and projected growth is a result of the building of large new housing estates and the arrival into the area of large employers such as the MOD and Friends Life Insurance (formerly AXA). The voluntary sector has developed in recent years and CVS South Gloucestershire is now well established and supported by the Local Authority, and works in partnership with other statutory agencies and community anchor organisations to support groups across the area. South Gloucestershire is part of the West of England Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) area.
