Census 2021 Report Part 1

Introduction

This report will look at various topics from 2021 Census and will compare the results with the England and South West figures. Most of the detailed data is either at District level (the eight districts that make up the Devon County area are East Devon, Exeter, Mid Devon, North Devon, South Hams, Teignbridge, Torridge and West Devon ) and/or Devon Town level (30 in Devon). Devon CC is the area covered by Devon County Council and One Devon is the area covered by Devon County Council plus Plymouth and Torbay Unitaries.

The data is either at Household Level (352,577 in the Devon CC Area) or Usual Resident Level (811,647 in the Devon CC Area) – (Usual Resident approximates to Every Person).

Most of the maps are produced at Output Level which is the lowest geography level available (approximately 200 households). A couple of maps are at Middle Super Output Level (MSOA) – there are 54 in Devon CC Area and Lower Super Output Area level (approximately 483 LSOAs in the Devon CC area).

Some of the headings have an Office of National Statistics (ONS) table code – this refers to the original source of the census data.

1. Population

This chapter looks at the national situation over time and then more locally to Devon.

This section uses the preliminary data released from the 2011 Census by the Office for National Statistics. This data uses rounded figures and they show an increasing and ageing population both nationally and in Devon. Other comparison figures are missing from some of this section.

1.1 The national picture

The figures show that the population of England is 56,597,300. This is an increase of 3,490,100 – or 6.6% – over the past ten years. The largest increases have been in the South East (an increase of just over 9,300,000 – 7.5%) and London (a 8,800,000 – 7.7% increase). In percentage terms the largest increase was East of England (up 6,300,000 8.3%) followed by the South West with an increase of 5,700,000 7.8%.

Figure 1.1 – England Total Population 1801-2021

Figure 1.2 – England Intercensal Population Change 1801-2021

Figure 1.3 – England Age Structure

The population structure is also ageing. There are now 11.1 million people aged 65 and over, which is 18.6% of the population. In 2011 the figure stood at 9.2 million, or 16.4%.

1.2 The local picture

The Census puts the population of Devon at 811,600. This is up from 746,400 ten years ago – an increase of 65,200 or 8.7%. The largest increase was East Devon which saw an increase of 18,400 people – up 13.9% from 2011 to 150,800. West Devon saw the smallest increase with 3,600 extra people taking the total to 57,100 – an increase of 6.7%.

Table 1.1 Population change 2011-2021

	2011	2021	Change
East Devon	132,400	150,800	18,400	13.9%
Exeter	117,800	130,800	13,000	11.0%
Mid Devon	77,800	82,800	5,000	6.4%
North Devon	93,600	98,600	5,100	5.3%
South Hams	83,100	88,600	5,500	6.6%
Teignbridge	124,300	134,800	10,500	8.4%
Torridge	63,900	68,100	4,900	6.6%
West Devon	53,500	57,100	3,600	6.7%
Devon CC	746,400	811,600	65,200	8.7%

The past forty years have seen a steady growth in population across all Devon’s districts. The change is generally steady except East Devon & Exeter which have accelerated recently?

Figure 1.4 – District Population Change 1981-2021

The age structure differs significantly between districts with 49% in Exeter aged under 35 compared to just 32% in West Devon. However, just 17% of people in Exeter are aged 65 and over compared to 30% in East Devon.

Figure 1.5 Age structure of Devon County Council area

The Population Pyramid shows that since the 2011 Census the age groups bulge appears to moved from 65ish to 75ish for both sexes. Comparing this to the England Population Pyramid earlier it shows that Devon is much older.

Figure 1.6 Age structure of Devon areas

There has also been a corresponding increase in the number of households in the county. The largest increases were East Devon and Teignbridge, which saw an increases of 7,700 (13.0%) and 5,800 (10.7%) respectively.

Table 1.2 Household change 2011 to 2021

West Devon		22,700		24,800	2,100	9.3%
Devon CC		322,600		352,600	30,000	9.3%

In Devon there are, on average, 2.3 people per household. This compares to 2.41 people in England as a whole. If the average household size in Devon matched the national figure there would be 12,200 fewer households. This relatively small household size may be due to the age structure of the population with more older people living alone, although the full picture won’t be known until more data are released later in the year.

Except in Exeter, East Devon & South Hams, the household size has decreased across all Devon districts between 2011 and 2021.

The most densely populated district is Exeter with 2,783 people per square kilometre. By comparison, the least densely populated district is West Devon with 49 people per square kilometre.

Map 1.1 0-15 year olds by Lower Super Output Area

The highest numbers of under 16s are spread around the county with notable numbers in Exeter, Plymouth, Torquay, Cranbrook and Sherford as well as Braunton, Bideford, Tiverton, Okehampton, a rural area in South Hams and the larger centres in Teignbridge.

Map 1.2 16-64 year olds by Lower Super Output Area –

The larger percentages of working age people are in Exeter, Plymouth, an area of Dartmoor (where Princetown is probably the main centre),Ashburton/Buckfastleigh and Lympstone in East Devon.

Map 1.3 65 and Over year olds by Lower Super Output Area

Areas with large percentages of over 65s are mainly in South

Hams (Dartmouth/Kingswear), Torbay (Brixham)and East Devon (Budleigh, Sidmouth and Seaton).

Map 1.4 Population Density by Output Area

– not surprisingly the larger population centres have the highest population densities

Figure 2.1 a) Household Size by District

Devon has more 1 and 2 person households than the English average but less in the larger households – the districts are roughly the same, with the exception of Exeter which is closer to the English profile.

Figure 2.1 b) Household Size by Devon Town

Cranbrook stands out as different with more 3, 4 and 5 person households than everywhere else. Most of the coastal areas have larger numbers of 1 and 2 person households (Dartmouth, Dawlish, Lynton-Lynmouth, Seaton and Sidmouth).

Map 2.1 a) One Person Households by Output Area

Some in central Exeter & Plymouth and spread in urban centres across the county.

Map 2.1 b) Eight Person Households by Output Area

Only a few Isolated areas have 5+ numbers of 8 person households – mostly in rural areas.
