People and Population
This section provides a range of information about the demographics of Cumbria, its districts and other areas.
Population Summaries provides you with a range of spreadsheets and summary documents containing population counts for Cumbria's districts and wards. Comparisons are made to previous years.
Population Briefings provides you with a range of useful reports and briefings which detail the changes in Cumbria's population.
A presentation is also available which brings together population trends over the last 25 years and projected populations through to 2029. The presentation contains a number of slides that highlight the effects of an ageing population, both now and into the future. It gives a comprehensive overview for Cumbria and each of its'districts, along with providing figures for the North West region and England & Wales. You can find the presentation here: Population forecasts.
