Troon Locality Data Profile 2017 *Premature mortality is described as deaths under the age of 75 years. This measure is considered an important indicator as a higher premature mortality rate suggests there is still room to improve population health. POPULATION AND DEPRIVATION Overall, the South Ayrshire population is projected to remain relatively static between 2014 and 2039. However, projections suggest that there will be approximately a 10% drop in the working age population whilst the percentage of individuals of pensionable age and over is due to increase by 21% across the same time period. Many parts of South Ayrshire are prosperous and it is a vibrant area in which to live and work, and to visit; however, significant inequalities continue to exist within and between our communities. • The Troon Locality has a population of 18,547 people, and the population has not changed much over the last few years. • One in four people in the Troon Locality are aged over 65. • One in ten people in the Troon Locality live in a deprived neighbourhood. • One in ten children in the Troon Locality live in poverty.

The claimant count in the Troon Locality has reduced from 2.1% in 2013 to 1.5% in 2015. Among the long-term factors that affect the unemployment rate in South Ayrshire are those that also affect the country's overall competitiveness: education levels, infrastructure investments, diversity and balance in its economic mix, tax rates, and the regulatory environment. Any changes that improve South Ayrshire's attractiveness as a place to live or to do business will, over longer periods of time, tend to reduce the unemployment rate.

This is through the effects of housing costs, housing quality, fuel poverty and the role of housing in community life. Many people do not live in a home that is warm, dry and affordable. There is more work to do to ensure that housing across tenures provides a sufficient number of quality, affordable homes to meet the needs of people in South Ayrshire. Almost 75% of dwellings are owned, either outright or with a mortgage, in the Troon locality and more than half of all dwellings are detached or semi-detached homes.

In an unfavourable or declining economy, crime can increase. Poor earning power, unemployment or frustration with the resulting deprivation are factors which may lead people to commit criminal acts. Other factors affecting crime levels include alcohol abuse and drug dependency. Intervening early, engaging with young people and getting the right help at important times in their lives - especially for the most vulnerable - are vital steps to divert them from the wrong choices and impairing life chances. An effective and visible police presence helps to tackle offending and reduce fear of crime.
