INTRODUCTION The purpose of this report is to: Present a detailed demographic, social, economic and environmental picture of the city of Salford and its people; Identify trends that will impact on the demand for, and take-up of, public services within the city; Spotlight the broad spread and diversity of community assets that engage Salford people across the city; Provide an update on Salford’s position within the Index of Multiple Deprivation based on a number of deprivation domains. The report focuses on trends during the last few years and current projections where available, including population, household, and dwelling projections. This report will also present a summary of the main issues and conclusions, while topic sections will include consideration of key questions drawing attention to potential areas of further research. At a strategic level this report supports work on the ‘Joint Strategic Needs Assessment’ (JSNA), the council budget, and setting of council priorities. Methodology Data were correct as of July 2016 when the report was prepared. There are three alternative but related population projections / forecasts available for the City of Salford. They are based on different methodologies and there are strengths and weaknesses associated with each. i. ONS 2011 based sub-national population projection. ii. City council forecast iii. Greater Manchester Forecast Model (GMFM) Forecast Caveats a) Historical trends: Some of the data presented in this document are extrapolated from trends seen over a specific time period prior to this report being written. The trend has then been applied to the current population to estimate the situation in the future. Therefore, there is an assumption that the trend will continue unchanged in the future and this should be borne in mind when interpreting the data. b) Complex relationships exist between data sets: Many of the factors examined are interrelated and therefore the true effect on a specific aspect of data is difficult to predict. A change to one aspect, for example employment, may have wide reaching effects on many others like commuting, health, migration etc. c) Uncertainties: The data do not account for uncertainties that have arisen since the data was collected, or that may emerge in the future, such as planning restrictions, neighbouring area growth (e.g. in the rest of Greater Manchester) or national policies etc. d) Data Currency: The data were up to date at the time of the latest annual releases. There may be more recent data that have been made available since this time. This report will be revised on an annual basis to take account of new data and key messages may therefore change in future. Public Health, Strategy & Change 3 / 144 State of the City 2016 2.
