The five townships all have a variety of age profiles: • Dudley Central has a younger population than the Borough average with a greater proportion of the population in the age groups under 35; • Dudley North, Brierley Hill and Stourbridge all have resident populations with older age profiles than the Borough. • Halesowen’s population has an age profile very similar to that for the Borough as a whole.

Dudley Central township has the largest population aged under 20, both in total numbers (more than 20,000) and as a proportion of the total (27.3%). Dudley North and Stourbridge townships both have a relatively small proportion of their populations in the 0-19 age group (22.3% in each case).

It also represents a smaller part of the population in Dudley than for England as a whole. Dudley Central township has the largest population aged 16-64, both in total numbers (more than 45,500) and as a proportion of the total (62.2%). At fewer than 31,000 and less than 60% of the total population, Dudley North has the smallest working age population of any of the five townships.
