Population forecasts

Population forecasts for Herefordshire for the period 2007 to 2026 are produced by Herefordshire Council Research Team based on the ONS 2006 mid-year estimates. The full set of forecasts can be downloaded as an Excel spreadsheet from the box below, along with five documents:

• an overview of what the forecasts mean for the future population of Herefordshire;
• answers to some of the questions that may be asked about the forecasts;
• separate reports focusing on forecast numbers of births and school-age children, and the reasons behind expected changes;
• a detailed technical report of the methodology used to produce the forecasts.

We intend to produce further 'focus on...' reports, for example on older people, but other work priorities have caused these to be delayed. Please contact us on 01432 260498 if this causes a problem for you and we will do our best to help.
