Overall, the area has a high young dependency2 ratio of 33.9% (6,230 people under the age of 14) which is marginally higher than the ratio for Waterford as a whole at 33.0%. The contraction at the top of the pyramid reflects the decrease in the population with increasing age. The old dependency ratio at 21.2% is above the overall figure for Waterford of 19.9% which is reflected in the wider tip of the population pyramid. There were 3,889 aged 65+ residents in April 2011. The individual EDs which comprise the area exhibit different characteristics. For example, Castlerichard (35.4%) and Kilcockan (33.6%) exhibit a high old dependency ratio, while Clonea (9.6%) and Templemichael (13%) both exhibit low rates. 2 Dependency is expressed as a percentage of the total population aged between 15 to 64 years. Dependency ratios give a crude indication of the population and are not entirely precise as variations occur over time in the number of young persons staying on longer in full time education and in the number of persons over 65 continuing to work. The relative proportions of persons aged 15-64 who are inside and outside of the labour force may also vary over time. 5 Local Electoral Area Profile: Dungarvan Lismore Population of Dungarvan Lismore 2011 Population of Waterford 2011 Classified by Age Group and Gender Classified by Age Group and Gender +85 +85 80-84 80-84 75-79 75-79 70-74 70-74 Females Females 65-69 65-69 Males Males 60-64 60-64 55-59 55-59 50-54 50-54 45-49 45-49 40-44 40-44 35-39 35-39 30-34 30-34 25-29 25-29 20-24 20-24 15-19 15-19 10-14 10-14 05-09 05-09 00-04 00-04 4500 4000 3500 3000 2500 2000 1500 1000 500 0 500 1000 1500 2000 2500 3000 3500 4000 4500 1200 1000 800 600 400 200 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 Note: Please note that different scales are used on the horizontal (Y) axis for representation purposes. 6 Local Electoral Area Profile: Dungarvan Lismore Persons aged 18 and under by single year of age The chart opposite shows a high young Dungarvan Lismore 2011 dependency ratio at 33.9% and a high number of young people living in the area with 6,230 500 people aged 14 years or under. 450 400 The total of pre-school children aged 0-4 was 2,226. 350 300 The primary school population (aged 5-12) stood 250 at 3,215 in 2011. 200 The secondary school age group (13-18) had a 150 total population of 2,243. 100 50 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 Dung arvan Lismore 437 448 467 452 422 383 382 387 395 397 395 431 445 402 387 367 393 354 340 7 Local Electoral Area Profile: Dungarvan Lismore Families Tables 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 on the following pages provide an insight into the composition of families for the Dungarvan Lismore Electoral Area. 2.
