AREA AMD POPULATION
Population tables are again reproduced in some detail. Although not
necessarily up-to-date they contain the most recent information available
for the Borough and it was felt appropriate to include them in their present
form to provide readily accessible information and for purposes of comparison
in subsequent reports. Care should be exercised in comparing one table with
another to differentiate between Census figures and Registrar General's'
estimates.
Over the past few years the rate of fall of the population of the
Borough has been slowing. Statistics for the last two years indicate a
reversal of the previous trend, the population having increased, doubtless
due to the effect of new building at Roundshaw.
