ONS Mid-Year Population Estimates 1991-2010

Population statistics from 1991 to the most recent figures available are presented here.

The most recent set of mid-year estimates received from ONS are from 2010, and were released in June 2011. Mid-2010 estimates for smaller geographies will not be released until later in the year. The mid-year estimates for 2011 have a scheduled release date by ONS of late June 2012, and will be made available here soon after.

All figures are for the current boundaries of each district.

The ONS mid-year estimates are released in the summer of each year, and the population data will be updated as soon as they are received.

The largest population increases over the past few years have been seen in Bromsgrove and Wychavon due to the high level of net migration into these districts. The more urban districts of Redditch and Worcester City have in recent times tended to have a small net out-migration, but do register an increase of population due to a higher number of births compared to the number of deaths. Full details of components of change are available. 

Town Population Estimates

The populations of the main towns in Worcestershire are presented below. These are based on mid-2010 figures, which were made available in September 2011.

Ward Estimates

Mid-year estimates at ward level for 2010 have been produced for England & Wales as "experimental statistics". The methodology used to produce the ward estimates differs to the method used to produce the local authority mid-year estimates, and is subject to further development.

The mid-2010 ward estimates are consistent with the published local authority mid-year estimates for that year.

Smaller Area Population Estimates

It is possible to derive population estimates of areas smaller than wards i.e villages, certain areas within towns or other places of interest. Please contact Mike Rice for further details

Indicative Population Estimates 2006-10

On 17th November 2011 ONS published an improved method for estimating local authority long-term immigration that makes better use of administrative data. Local Authority immigration estimates were also released with corresponding Indicative Estimates. These "Indicative Estimates" do not replace the official mid-year estimates, but are used in the ONS 2010-based population projections, so are replicated here.

The mid-2010 indicative estimates for Worcestershire are:-
