2006-based subnational population projections

The latest 2006 based subnational population projections project forward mid-2006 population estimates to give an indication of future trends in population by age and sex down to local authority level for the 25 years from 2006 to 2031.

Being trend based projections, assumptions for future levels of births, deaths and migration are based on observed levels; mainly over the previous five years (2002 to 2006). They show what the population will be if recent trends continue.

The projections are produced on a consistent basis across all local authorities in England. They do not take into account any future policy changes or local development policies that have not yet occurred.

They are fully consistent with the 2006 mid-year population estimates published on 22 August 2007. They are constrained at a national level to the 2006-based National Population Projections published by the Office for National Statistics on 23 October 2007.
