Census 2021: What does Eden’s population look like?

The first results of the 2021 census are in – and they show Eden has seen its population swell over the last decade.

The census takes place every 10 years, with every household in the UK required to take part.

The latest snapshot of England and Wales was captured on March 21 2021.

Now the first results have been released – and there’s been a rise in the number of people living in Eden.

On census day, 54,700 people were living in the area – up four per cent from 52,564 in 2011, when the last census was carried out.

This also means the population density has grown to 26 usual residents per square kilometre, up from 25 in 2011.

The census is crucial for the UK’s statisticians to understand how our population is changing, and plays a vital role in how our public services and government operate.

It shows the balance of men and women in the area has stayed the same since 2011 – Eden’s population is 49.5 per cent male and 50.5 per cent female, close to what it was 10 years ago.

It also shows the area is ageing – a decade ago the population was made up of 9.5 per cent under-10s and 21.9 per cent over-65s, but this had changed to 8.8 per cent and 26.5 per cent respectively by 2021.

Across England and Wales, the total population grew 6.3 per cent over the past decade, from 56,075,912 in 2011 to 59,597,300 last year.

This included a 5.2 per cent increase in the North West, where the population rose to 7,417,300 from 7,052,177 in 2011.

There were 24.8 million households in England and Wales on census day 2021, up from 23.4 million in 2011, with an average of 2.4 people in each household – the same as in 2011.

Historic populations of Eden:

  • 1981: 42,425
  • 1991: 45,581
  • 2001: 49,783
  • 2011: 52,564
  • 2021: 54,700

Historic populations of the North West:

  • 1981: 6,834,647
  • 1991: 6,726,860
  • 2001: 6,729,764
  • 2011: 7,052,177
  • 2021: 7,417,300
