Demographic & Socio Economic Information 2.1 At the time of writing, the available 2011 Census Information does not provide all the information included in this section (e.g. household composition). Thus, some information in the profile is based on other sources which are identified in the report. The profile will be updated as and when further 2011 Census information is available. Population 2.2 Based on the 2011 Census, the total population within Partick West AP is 33,038. Partick West AP has the largest population among the 21 APs in Glasgow equating to 16.0% of the estimated North West Sector population (n 206,483) and 5.6% of the estimated Glasgow City population. 2.3 86.3% of the population are White – British or Irish. The total percentage of ethnic minorities including Black or Minority Ethnic (BME – 8.9%) and other white (non UK/non Irish – 4.9%) resident in the Area Partnership is smaller than the respective levels for North West Glasgow (BME 11.9%; other white non UK/non Irish 4.9%) and smaller that the total percentage for Glasgow (BME 11.6%; other white non UK/non Irish 3.9%). 2.4 Within the overall AP ward population, Table 2 below illustrates the main age band populations both numerically and in percentage terms enabling comparisons with North West Glasgow and Glasgow.

The increase has been caused by the largest percentage increase (17.2%; n 2,622) in the number of households across Glasgow’s 21 MME Wards. Page 2 of 17 x Whilst the population has increased over the last ten year period, the average household size actually reduced from 1.93 people per household in 2001 to 1.85 people per household in 2011. x The low percentage of its population relative to the Glasgow average that is aged 0-15, especially in BPW and HDPE. x The significant variations between the neighbourhoods in their demographic profiles as Anniesland/Jordanhill/Whiteinch (AJW) neighbourhood has more than double of its population than are aged 0-15 (19.1%) and a higher proportion aged 65+ (14.9%) than the other two neighbourhoods. Thus, more than 1 in 3 of the population in the AJW neighbourhood is not of working age whereas in the other two neighbourhoods in the Ward, only around 1 in 5 of the population are not of working age. 2.6 North West: In comparison to other wards within the North West, Partick West’s demographic profile is relatively in line with the overall profile for the sector. Of the seven North West APs, Partick West has the 3rd lowest percentage of its population being children and older people and the third highest percentage of its population being of working age. Looking at projections re future levels of youth employment, Partick West AP will probably witness an increase over the next five/ten years in the number of people aged 16-19 from the AP seeking employment. This is because current the estimated number of 5-9 and 10-15 year olds in the AP is greater than the present number of residents (excluding students) aged 16-19. 2.7 Glasgow: Among the 21 Glasgow APs, Partick West AP has the third lowest percentage of its population who are aged 0-15 and the seventh lowest percentage that are aged 65+. Thus, it has the fourth highest percentage of its population that are of working age. The relatively low level of children is further highlighted by both Broomhill/Partick West (BPW) and Hyndland/Downhill/Partick East (HDPE) neighbourhoods being among the five Neighbourhoods (out of 56) in the city with the lowest percentage of its population aged 0-15. Housing 2.8 As of the 1st April 2012, the total housing stock in this ward was estimated as 18,415. 2.9 Households: Based on 2010 estimates, Table 3 illustrates that 17% (n 3,008) of households in the ward have children residing in them of which 25% (n 760; 4.3% of all households) were single parent households. The level of households with children is low relative to the North West (20%) and Glasgow (23%) as is the relative level of single parent households (NW 6.5%; Glasgow 7.2%). Page 3 of 17 As shown in Table 3, there are differences in the household compositions between neighbourhoods e.g. 1 in 4 (24.8%) of households in AJW have children residing in them as against nearly 1 in 8 (13.2%) in BPW. Partick West has the highest number (8,088) of single person households among the 21 MME Wards in Glasgow. As well as the high number of single person households, the relative level (46% of all households) of single person households is also high compared to the North West sector (43%) and Glasgow (40%).

More than three quarters (77.5%) of the housing stock in the ward is either owner occupied (49.1%) or private rented (28.4%). In comparative terms, the level of owner occupied housing stock within Partick West AP is the highest in the North West sector. Thus, less than a quarter (22.5%) of the housing stock is social rented housing. This level of social rental housing is well below the overall level (34.9%) for the North West sector and for Glasgow City (36.9%). 2.11 There are significant differences between the neighbourhoods e.g. AJW is the only neighbourhood in the Ward where the majority (58%) of housing stock is owner occupied but it has significantly less private rented housing stock both in numerical and percentage terms (AJW 14.5%; BPW 34.7%; HDPE 31.2%). Less than a fifth (18.5%) of the housing stock in BPW is social rented housing.
