Introduction

Mid-Year Population Estimates, or MYPE are produced by the Office for National Statistics and are derived from a census population count and each year are rolled forward (people aged by one year) allowing for changes recorded for births, deaths and migration. Additional allowances are made to model the transient population such as students and personnel from the armed forces. This modelling process provides fairly robust data for larger areas of geography but the margin for error is larger for small areas, which is why these ward level MYPE are classed as ‘experimental statistics’.

Note on the data

It is ONS policy to present all estimates rounded to the nearest hundred at local authority level and to the nearest ten at ward level. Within this bulletin all mid-year estimates have been individually rounded and therefore may not sum. Percentages have been calculated using unrounded numbers.

The data in this bulletin will be updated in Autumn 2022 when the 2021 Mid-Year Population Estimates will be released.

Rural and urban classification

The ‘2011 Rural Urban Classification for Small Area Geographies’ or RUC for short was released in August 2013.

The RUC was developed for a consortium of government agencies for use with the 2001 Census and revised following the 2011 Census for a similar consortium including the Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG), the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), the Office of National Statistics (ONS) and the Welsh Government (WG).

The wards which came into effect in May 2015 in Canterbury, & Hythe, Swale and & Malling, and the wards which came into effect in May 2019 in Ashford, Dartford and have been categorised by matching the new boundaries with the 2011 boundaries on a best fit basis by Strategic Commissioning - Analytics at Kent County Council.

There are eight separate classifications for wards which are grouped into either Urban or Rural types as illustrated in Figure1:

Kent Analytics, Kent County Council Page 1 www.kent.gov.uk/research

Figure 1: 2011 rural-urban classification of 2011 electoral wards in and Wales A1 = Urban major conurbation B1 = Urban minor conurbation Urban C1 = Urban city and town C2 = Urban city and town in a sparse setting D1 = Rural town and fringe D2 = Rural town and fringe in a sparse setting Rural E1 = Rural village and dispersed E2 = Rural village and dispersed in a sparse setting

Urban totals are created from all wards classified as A1, B1, C1 and C2 and rural totals are created by adding together data for wards classified as D1, D2, (town and fringe) and E1 and E2 (rural village). Kent and Medway wards are categorised as A1, C1, D1 and E1. These are illustrated in Map 1.

Within this bulletin and in the ward profiles we group the wards into urban and rural areas and identify individual towns such as Maidstone, Tonbridge and Canterbury plus smaller rural settlements such as , Pembury and Sandwich.

Rural and urban area population

The number of people living in urban areas within Kent in 2020 was just over 1.1million. This is a rise of +4,200 people (+0.4%) since 2019. In 2020 the population living in rural areas was 433,400 people. This is a rise of +3,300 people, (+0.8%) since 2019.

People living in urban areas make up 73% of the Kent population but they only occupy 21% of the total land area. The remaining 27% of the population live in rural areas but occupy 79% of the land in Kent.

Data for individual wards is grouped into other useful geographies such as urban and rural settlements. The population of these individual areas are presented in the relevant local authority tables throughout this bulletin.

However, Table 4 ranks the settlements from the most populated through to the least, to give an indication of the settlement hierarchy in Kent. Figures for Medway are presented separately on page 19.
