Summary

Demographic trends across Hampshire forecast over the next 7 years include:

  • The population of Hampshire is forecast to grow by over34,500 people to 1,775,000by 2019.
  • A rise in dwellings of over39,700 to 799,900 is forecast by 2019.However, it should be noted that these figures are based on dwellings assumptions that are particularly difficult to estimate in the current economic climate.
  • The population of Hampshire is forecast to age during the period with more people occupying the older age groups and fewer children.
  • The working age population is also forecast to see a small decline in percentage terms.
  • The total dependency ratio is expected to rise, as a result of the ageing of the population.
  • Variation between the districts across Hampshire is forecast, though all are expected to largely follow the trends noted above.
  • Most variation across districts is expected in the percentage change amongst those aged 85 years and over.
  • Least variation across districts is expected in the percentage change amongst the working age population over the forecast period.

Introduction

This summary profile was constructed using Hampshire County Council’s 2012 based Small Area Population Forecasts (SAPF), published in March 2013. The forecasts provide estimates of the population of Hampshire from 2012-2019 and are available for all districts down to ward level broken down by age and gender. They can be found at the following location.

This profile provides a graphical overview of the changes in population and dwellings forecast to take place between 2012 and 2019 in Hampshire. The population is analysed by age and sex, along with working age and dependent populations. Much of this analysis is done at both the county and district level.

The methodology used to produce these forecasts of Hampshire’s population relies, in part, on detailed information regarding likely future dwelling supply. Users should be aware that in the current economic climate forecasting future dwellings supply has been particularly difficult. The figures are the best forecasts available as at 1/4/2012 on a site by site basis taking account of the current market conditions.

Please note Hampshire in this report should be taken to refer to the combined administrative areas of Hampshire County Council, Portsmouth City Council and Southampton City Council.

Please also note that throughout this report the working age population is taken as 16-59 for females and 16-64 for males. Therefore the state pensionable age is 60+ for females and 65+ for males.

Hampshire Trends

Population

Figure 1:Hampshire: Total Population 2012-2019

The total population of Hampshire is forecast to rise each year from 1,740,500 in 2012 to 1,775,000 in 2019 (Figure 1).

Dwellings

Figure 2: Hampshire: Number of Dwellings, 2012-2019

The number of dwellings in Hampshire is forecast to increase year on year from 760,300 in 2012 to 799,900 in 2019 (Figure 2).

Population by Age and Sex

The population pyramids shown in Figures 3a&billustrate the age and sex structure of Hampshire in 2012and forecast for 2019. The pyramids illustrate the population ageing over time as more people are expected to occupy the older age groups. These changes are caused by sustained low fertility and mortality rates. Also visible are the post-war and 1960’s baby booms moving through the age structure over the forecast period.

Figure 3a: Hampshire: Population Pyramid, 2012

Figure 3b: Hampshire: Population Pyramid, 2019

Working Age and Dependent Populations

Figure 4 shows the changes over the forecast period in the population broken down into 3 broad age groups – children; those of working age; and those of state pensionable age. The child population is expected to increase over the period from 18.9% to 19.1 % whilst the working age population is expected to change the most and decline from 60.2% to 58.2%.The population of pensionable age is expected to increase from 21.0% to 22.8%.

Figure 4: Percentage of the Population by Broad Age Groups, Hampshire, 2012 and 2019

Changes in the age distribution represented by dependency ratios are shown in Table 1. The Dependency Ratio represents the ratio of the non-working age population to those of working age. It provides a basis for identifying the number of non-working age people per 100 of working age[1].

The Total Dependency Ratio is forecast to rise slightly in Hampshire between 2012 and 2019(Table 1). Looking at the independent contributions from the old and the young, Table 1 indicates that the increase in the old age and child populations is what is driving this overall rise, such that by 2019 there will be 19.6% more elderly than young people in Hampshire.

Table 1: Total, Child and Old Age Dependency Ratios and the Ageing Index, Hampshire, 2012and 2019

Total Dependency Ratio / Child Dependency Ratio / Old Age Dependency Ratio / Ageing Index
2012 / 66.2 / 31.3 / 34.8 / 111.2
2019 / 71.9 / 32.8 / 39.2 / 119.6

Population Density

Figure 5 shows the population density of Hampshire’s wards in 2012. Population density is defined by the number of people per hectare. As would be expected there is greater population density in Hampshire’s towns and cities.ItchenValley in Winchester district has the lowest estimated population density in Hampshire with 0.26 people per hectare and Central Southsea in Portsmouth district has the greatest, at almost 140 people per hectare.

Hampshire District Trends

Total Population

Figure 6: Hampshire: Total Population in Each District, 2012 and 2019

The population growth expected in Hampshire varies by district, as illustrated in Figure 6.Between 2012 and 2019 eleven of the thirteen districts are forecast to see their populationincrease. A quarter of Hampshire’s growth is forecast to occur in Winchester, where the populationis expected to increase from 117,600 to 126,300.A further 15% of the county’s growth is expected to occur in Southampton with an increase in the population of 5,200.

The New Forest and Fareham areforecast to experiencedeclines in their population of 2,600 and 100 people respectively between 2012 and 2019.

Dwellings

All of Hampshire’s thirteen districts are expected to experience a rise in the number of dwellings between 2012 and 2019 (Figure 7).Southamptonis forecast to increase its number of dwellings from 103,200 to 109,200 , accounting for 15 % of the county’s rise in dwellings.A further 12% of this rise in dwellings is expected to occur in Winchester. The smallest rise, 3% is likely in Fareham.

Figure 7: Hampshire: Number of Dwellings in Each District, 2012 and 2019

Pre-School Age Population

Figure 8: Hampshire: Percentage of the Total Population that is of Pre-School Age (0-4 years), for Each District, 2012 and 2019


Figure 8 shows the percentage of the population in each district that is pre-school aged (0-4 years). The percentage aged 0-4 years varies from 5.1% to 7.2% in 2012. Eleven of Hampshire’s thirteen districts are expected to see a decline in the proportion of their population that is pre-school aged by 2019. The largest decline is forecast to occur in Portsmouth, where the proportion of the population aged 0-4 years is expected to decrease by 9.2%. Havant and Rushmoor are the only two districts expecting a rise, where figures are forecast to increase by 1.3% and 0.1%.

School Age Population

Figure 9: Hampshire: Percentage of the Total Population that is of School Age (5-15 years), for Each District, 2012 and 2019

Figure 9 shows the percentage of the population in each district that is school aged (5-15 years).The percentage aged 5-15 varies from 10.9 % to 14.1 % in 2012.With the exception of Hart alldistricts are expected to see a slight increase in the proportion of their population that is school aged over the forecast period.

Working Age Population

In 2012 between 54-64 % of the population within each district were of working age (Figure 10). These figures are estimated to decline slightly between 2012 and 2019, though for some districts the actual number of people within this age group will increase. Across Hampshire as a whole there is estimated to be a decline in the number of people of working age of 15,000over the forecast period and the percentage of Hampshire’s population who are of working age is expected to decline by 2%.

The New Forest’s working age population accounts for a much lower proportionof the total population than is the case for Hampshire as a whole. This trend is forecast to continue to 2019, with 51.4 % of the New Forest population forecast to be of working age compared to 58.2 % of Hampshire’s population as a whole.

Figure 10: Hampshire: Percentage of the Total Population that is of Working Age (16 to 59 for females and 16 to 64 for males, for Each District, 2012and 2019

State Pensionable Age

All districts in Hampshire are forecast to see a rise in the percentage of their population that is over state pensionable age, as shown in Figure 11.It is anticipated that Eastleighwill see a 12.3% increase in the percentage of its population that is of state pensionable age over the period, which equates to an increase of3,500people.This compares to a 8.7% increase across Hampshire as a whole.

The New Forest has the highest proportion of the population above state pensionable age in 2012 (29.2%) as well as those forecast in 2019 (32.0%), an estimated increase of4,000 people.

The Very Old

Figure 12: Hampshire: Percentage of the Population that is Very Old (85 years and over), for Each District, 2012 and 2019

When looking at the very old (aged 85 and over) this trend of an ageing population continues (Figure 12), with all of the thirteen districts expected to experience an increase in the percentage of their population aged 85 years and over.Basingstoke and Deane is forecast to see a rise of 30% in the percentage of its population aged 85 and over to 2.9% by 2019.

The New Forest is expected to remain the district with the highest proportion of its population aged 85 and over at 5.6% in 2019 andsee the largest increase in the number of its residents that fall into this age group, increasing from 8,200 to 9,700 people. Rushmoor is forecast to remain the district with the smallest population aged 85 and over, although the percentage of the population aged 85 and over is still set to rise by17.6 % from 2,000 to 2,500 over the period.

Dependency Ratios

Figure 13: Hampshire: Change in Total Dependency Ratios, for Each District, 2012 and 2019

All districts are set to see a rise in their Total Dependency Ratios over the forecast period.The New Forest is expected to remain the district with the highest total dependency ratio, rising from 84.5 per 100 people of working age in 2012 to 94.4 in 2019.Southampton is expected to maintain its position as the district with the smallest total dependency ratio, rising from 55.0 to 60.4 between 2012 and 2019.

Figure 14: Hampshire: Change in the Ageing Index, for Each District, 2012 and 2019

In all districts the growth forecast in the dependent population is as a result of a rise in the number of older people. Figure 14 shows the change over the forecastperiod in the Ageing Index (the number of old people to every 100 children (see footnote 1)). Alldistricts are set to see a rise in the number of elderly people in relation to the young. The New Foresthas the largest number of old people to young with an estimated 176 to every 100 children in 2012, rising to 194by 2019.Conversely, the number of older people in Rushmoor will remain fewer than the number of children over the forecast period with 73 older people per 100 children in 2012, rising to 78 in 2019.

Urban and Rural

Figure 15 overleaf shows the break down of the population in each district by the percentage who live in urban or rural areas as at 2012. The 2004 Urban and Rural Classification has been used to determine this breakdown. Urban areas relate to those areas with at least 10,000 people resident.

The chart shows that the majority of Hampshire’s population live in urban areas – even in the more rural districts of the New Forest and East Hampshire the percentage of the population that lives in urban areas is greater than 50%. Only in Winchester does the percentage of the population living in rural areas out number those living in urban areas.Portsmouth, Southampton, Gosport and Rushmoor are 100% urban districts.

Please note these figures are based on the classification as at 2004. So large development after this time might result in some erroneous findings.
