4 Executive Summary The East Dunbartonshire Area Profile provides an overview of the population and its detailed characteristics. The information is provided at Scotland, East Dunbartonshire and Ward level where data is available. The data used was from a variety of sources including the 2011 Census, NOMIS (official labour market statistics website) and Scottish Neighbourhood Statistics and was the most up to date at the time of writing this document. The Census in Scotland was conducted by National Records of Scotland and took place on 27 March 2011 and involved around 2 million households. The first census results were released by National Records of Scotland (NRS) in December 2012 with further results released on a rolling basis throughout Further data will continue to be released throughout 2014/15. All released data is available on the Scotland s Census website Key Findings 1. Since 2001, the population of East Dunbartonshire is estimated to have decreased by 3,217 people (-3%). Over the last ten years there has been a decrease in the number of children aged 15 and under. The highest increase was in the age group. This follows the projected population trend of an ageing population highlighted in the most recent population projections. 2. The Registrar General for Scotland s most recent population projections suggest that the population of East Dunbartonshire will decline by nearly 7% over the next 25 years. The overall projected population change is a result of a combination of natural change (the difference between the number of births and deaths) and migration. Based on these projections, by 2037, 16% of the population will be under 16 years of age, 50% will be aged 16-64, 33% aged 65 and over and 19% will be aged 75 and over. 3. According to National Records of Scotland, male and female life expectancy was highest in East Dunbartonshire. Males in East Dunbartonshire can expect to live for 80.5 years, nearly four years longer than the Scottish average. Females can expect to live for 83.9 years, nearly three years longer than Scotland as a whole. A high percentage of East Dunbartonshire residents (84.9%) reported in the Census that their health was very good or good, 2% higher than the Scottish average. 4. The 2011 Census shows that 4.2% of East Dunbartonshire s population were from a minority ethnic group, an increase of around 1% since the last census in The Asian population is the largest minority ethnic group (3.3%) in East Dunbartonshire. Within this, Indian is the largest individual category, accounting for 1.5% of the total population. 5. There were variations in the tenure of households by council area. East Dunbartonshire was one of only two local authorities where more than 80% of households owned their property (81.2%), this is 20% higher than the Scottish average of 61.6%. East Dunbartonshire also had a high percentage of car ownership across the area with 43.1% of households with access to one car or van and 30.2% with two cars or vans available for use. The majority of residents across East Dunbartonshire travelled to work or study by driving a car or van (45%), nearly 5% higher than the Scottish average. 6. Across East Dunbartonshire there were 28.4% one person households. East Dunbartonshire and Dumfries & Galloway had the highest proportion (11% of all households, 5,000 and 7,000 respectively) of households with all aged 65 and over families. 3

5 7. Employment is high with figures from NOMIS showing that East Dunbartonshire has a high percentage of people in employment (73.9%), nearly 2% higher than the Scottish average. However, there has been a slight decrease in the percentage of people in employment between 2013 and 2014 from 77.2% to 73.9%. Unemployment has remained stable with a very slight increase (0.1%) between 2013 and 2014 to 5.0%, just over 2% lower than the Scottish average. 8. Attainment and school leaver destinations are high across East Dunbartonshire. During 2012/13, 98.3% of pupils in East Dunbartonshire gained English and Maths at SCQF level 3 or above, 4% higher than the Scottish average (94.3%). The results of the school leaver destination return showed 93.1% of school leavers in a positive destination (higher education, further education, employment, voluntary work or training) in 2011/12 with this figure rising to 95.6% in 2012/ According to National Records of Scotland s recent Migration Report, East Dunbartonshire experienced a population increase due to in-migration combined with a very low natural change. During 2012/13 there was an estimated total net migration into East Dunbartonshire of 3,507 people and a total net migration out of 3,400 people resulting in a positive total net migration of 107 people. The first positive total net migration since 1994/95 was seen in 2011/12 (263 people). There has been a further positive net migration of 107 in 2012/13. Emerging Trends Overall East Dunbartonshire as a whole continues to compare favourably to Scotland and other local authority areas with a high percentage of home ownership, car ownership, low unemployment and high percentage of economically active residents. However, throughout this analysis, Ward 8 Kirkintilloch East & Twechar stands out as the most deprived of the Multi Member Wards. This is consistent with the findings of the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation The 2011 Census results show Kirkintilloch East & Twechar had the lowest percentage of owned homes and the highest percentage of council rented (16.6%) and other social rented (17.7%) accommodation compared to other Wards and East Dunbartonshire as a whole. It also had the highest percentage of those aged claiming job seekers allowance (4.9%) compared to other Wards and double that of East Dunbartonshire as a whole (2.4%). The census highlighted that the highest percentage of residents reporting their health as bad or very bad (7%) and their day to day activities limited because of a health problem or disability (11.2%) were found in the Kirkintilloch East & Twechar Ward. In contrast, 50% of homes in Bearsden South were owned outright, 11% higher than Kirkintilloch East & Twechar. Bearsden South also had the lowest percentage of council rented (1.4%) and other social rented (0.1%) accommodation compared to other Wards. Bearsden North had the lowest percentage of those aged claiming job seekers allowance (1%) and the lowest percentage of residents reporting their general health as bad or very bad (2.6%). Residents in Bearsden North reporting their day to day activities were limited a lot due to a health problem or disability was also low at 5.4%. Future The census is currently the only national survey that systematically captures and records information about the population at small areas. It provides the official population and socio-economic statistics. In the future there are expected to be changes to the ways in which population is measured. 4

6 The Beyond 2011 Programme was established by National Records of Scotland to explore the future provision of population and socio-demographic statistics in Scotland. The aim of the programme was to investigate a range of alternative solutions to the traditional census, including the possibility of using administrative sources or developing a more cost-effective and efficient census design. The decision to review the traditional census was agreed across the United Kingdom. National Records of Scotland announced on 27 March 2014 that it intends to focus on planning for a census in 2021 which will be primarily online, while offering alternative modes of completion where necessary. It also aims to make the best use of technology and administrative data in its design, building on the online approach used successfully in the 2011 Census. The decision to focus plans on a census in 2021 in Scotland was based on a variety of evidence, including results from research, stakeholder engagement, a user consultation and international experience. A final decision will be taken in 2016 on the basis of the business case. A programme of consultation and engagement will continue by National Records of Scotland to understand user requirements and shape the design of the 2021 Census. The findings from Beyond 2011 to date will be incorporated into the programme of work. Further research will be carried out to enable greater use of administrative data and surveys in the future. England and Wales (UK Statistics Authority) also plan to carry out a modernised census in 2021 building on an online approach. 5

7 Introduction The census is a count of all people and households in the country, and provides an estimate of the population and a detailed analysis of its characteristics. The 2011 Census in Scotland was conducted on 27 th March 2011 and involved around 2 million households. The census covers topics such as households, health, migration, ethnic group, national identity, religion, qualifications, employment and transport. The census counts everyone in Scotland once every ten years. It is the country s biggest statistics gathering exercise. From the public s responses to census questions, National Records of Scotland produce a range of anonymised statistics to provide an accurate snapshot of Scotland s population and reveal changes in Scotland s society since the last census in The census statistics are used by central and local government and other organisations to decide where public money will be spent, for example, on services such as education, transport, housing and health care. The first results from the census were released by National Records of Scotland in December 2012, over a year and a half after Census day, as it takes time to collect, process and check the vast amount of data collected in the census. National Records of Scotland tried to get the balance right between publishing the results as quickly as possible and ensuring that the quality of the information, upon which key decisions are based, is correct. Census data has been released in phases as the results are complex and time consuming to produce and there is a vast array of data to be produced. Later releases are more detailed and complex than the first release data. It would therefore take longer to publish results if all the data was to be published at once. This summary report sets out the key results from the 2011 Census that have been released at Local Authority and Ward level, revealing some of the mains issues for East Dunbartonshire. Where appropriate, it highlights changes that have occurred since the previous census. Data has also been used from a variety of other sources including NOMIS and Scottish Neighbourhood Statistics. Colour coding has been used throughout the tables in this document with green highlighting a positive variance and red highlighting a negative variance compared to East Dunbartonshire data. An uncoloured box indicates no variance. For example: No cars or vans East Dunbartonshire 19% Bearsden North 10.3% Red negative variance Campsie & Kirkintilloch North 22.6% Green positive variance Milngavie 19% No colour no variance 6

8 Population According to the 2011 Census East Dunbartonshire has an estimated population of 105,026, a decrease of 3,217 (-3%) since the 2001 census. In contrast Scotland s population increased by 5% since the last census, this represents the fastest growth rate between two censuses in the last century.

12 Population Estimates The population estimates are based on the 2011 Census. The population is aged on one year (that is, the 0 year olds become 1 year olds, and so on), the number of births in the year are added, the number of deaths subtracted and adjustments are made for estimated migration and other changes in special populations. It is important to remember that while the number of births and deaths are considered to be almost complete, there is no comprehensive source of migration data for moves within Scotland, or to and from the rest of the UK and the rest of the world. Estimates of migration are made using the best proxy sources available including General Medical Practitioner (GP) registrations and survey information. Therefore, any error in the population estimates is likely to be due to the migration estimates, particularly the international estimates. Further information on population estimates can be found on the National Records of Scotland website The following tables and information are from the Mid 2013 Population Estimates which were produced by National Records of Scotland and published on the 26 June Age Structure The table below provides the broad age structure of East Dunbartonshire. According to the 2013 mid-year population estimates 5% of the population of East Dunbartonshire were aged 0-4, 12.5% were aged 5-15 and 61.9% of the population were aged East Dunbartonshire had a slightly lower percentage of children aged 0-4 and those aged when compared to Scotland (5.5%) and had a slightly higher percentage of children aged 5-15 years. Compared to other Wards Kirkintilloch East & Twechar had the highest percentage of children aged 0-4 (6.1%), this was also higher than East Dunbartonshire as a whole (5.5%). Bishopbriggs North & Torrance had the lowest percentage of children aged 0-4 (3.8%) compared to other Wards. Compared to other Wards Lenzie & Kirkintilloch South had the lowest percentage of children aged 5-15 years (11.6%) and Bearsden North had the highest percentage (14.2%). The highest percentage of residents aged were in Bishopbriggs South (64.9%) and Bearsden South had the lowest percentage of residents in this age group (58.7%).

13 The table below shows the age structure of the older population. According to the 2013 mid-year population estimates for East Dunbartonshire, 20.8% of the population were aged 65 and over, 9.7% were aged 75 and over and 2.5% were aged 85 and over. Compared to other Wards Bearsden South had the highest percentage of people aged 65 and over (24.4%) followed by Bishopbriggs North and Torrance (23.9%), Milngavie (22.8%) and Bearsden North (21.7%). Kirkintilloch East & Twechar had the lowest percentage of residents aged 65 and over (17.2%) followed by Bishopbriggs South (17.9%), Campsie & Kirkintilloch North (18.9%) and Lenzie & Kirkintilloch South (19.4%). Bearsden South and Bishopbriggs North & Torrance had the highest percentage of residents aged 75+ (both 11.9%). Kirkintilloch East & Twechar had the lowest percentage of residents in this age group (7.4%), just over 2% lower than East Dunbartonshire as a whole. Bearsden South had the highest percentage of residents in the 85+ age group (3.8%) and Kirkintilloch East & Twechar had the lowest percentage of residents in this age group (1.6%).

14 Population Projections Recent population projections by the Registrar General for Scotland suggest that the population of East Dunbartonshire will decline by -6.8% over the next 25 years. This is a slight improvement from the 2010 based projections where the decrease was projected to be -9.8%. The overall projected population change is a result of a combination of natural change (the difference between the number of births and deaths) and migration. East Dunbartonshire is projected to experience decreases from both migration and natural change. Significantly the number of children (0-15 years) is projected to decrease by % during this period, whilst the population of pensionable age is expected to rise by 25.4%. The working age population is predicted to decrease by -17.2%. The highest population increase will be seen in those aged 75 and over with a predicted increase of 93%. The graph below shows the projected change in population for East Dunbartonshire over the next 25 years. 30,000 Population Projections ,000 20,000 15,000 10, , Source: National Records of Scotland, Population Projections for Scottish Areas (2012 based) Based on these projections, by 2037, 16.2% of the population will be under 16 years of age, 50.3% will be aged 16-64, 33.5% aged 65 and over and 19.5% of the population will be 75 and over. It should be noted that population projections have limitations. A projection is a calculation showing what happens if particular assumptions are made. The sub-national projections are trend based. They are, therefore, not policy based forecasts of what the government expects to happen. Many social and economic factors influence population change including policies adopted by both central and local government. The relationships between the various factors are complex and largely unknown. 13

15 Life Expectancy According to National Records of Scotland male and female life expectancy was highest in East Dunbartonshire Council area. Males in East Dunbartonshire can expect to live for 80.5 years, nearly four years longer than the Scottish average. Females can expect to live for 83.9 years, nearly three years longer than Scotland as a whole. 84 Life Expectancy at birth East Dunbartonshire Scotland Males Females Source: National Records of Scotland life expectancy for areas in Scotland, The table below shows that life expectancy in East Dunbartonshire has been increasing for both males and females over the last ten years, male life expectancy has increased 3.4 years and 3.5 years for females.

16 Ethnicity The census question on ethnicity changed between 2001 and In 2011, tick boxes were added for White: Polish and White: Gypsy/Traveller, African was also included as a separate category. Table 5 shows the broad ethnic breakdown of East Dunbartonshire. 4.2% of people in East Dunbartonshire were from minority ethnic groups, an increase of 1% since the 2001 Census. The Asian population was the largest minority ethnic group (3.3%) in East Dunbartonshire. Within this, Indian was the largest individual category, accounting for 1.5% of the total population. Bearsden South had the highest proportion of residents from an Asian community at 6.7%, followed by Bearsden North (4.9%) and Bishopbriggs South (4.8%).

23 Migration Migration is the movement of people from one place to another. Internal migration is when people migrate within the same country or region and international migration is when people migrate from one country to another. Migration is the most difficult component of population change to estimate as, unlike births and deaths, there is no comprehensive system for the registration of moves to or from the rest of the world, nor for moves within the UK. Official estimates of migration are therefore based on survey data and the best proxy data available. There are three key sources of migration data: The National Health Service Central Register (NHSCR) is used to calculate moves between NHS Board areas within the UK. It is also used to distribute estimates of international migration to NHS Board areas in Scotland. Community Health Index (CHI) is used to estimate migration at Council area and below. International Passenger Survey (IPS) provides information on moves into and out of Scotland with an origin or destination of outside UK. Total migration includes all migration to or from an area. For Scotland this would include moves to and from the rest of the UK and moves to and from overseas whilst for a Council or NHS Board area it would also include moves to and from other such areas in Scotland. The graph below shows the migration for East Dunbartonshire from 1994/95 to 2012/13. It shows there has been a negative net migration for East Dunbartonshire from 1995/96 to 2010/11. According to National Records of Scotland East Dunbartonshire experienced a population increase due to in-migration combined with a very low natural change. During 2012/13 there was an estimated total net migration into East Dunbartonshire of 3,507 people and a total net migration out of 3,400 people resulting in a positive total net migration of 107 people. The first positive total net migration since 1994/95 was seen in 2011/12 illustrated by the graph below.

46 Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation Background The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) is regarded as the official measure of deprivation in Scotland and identifies small area concentrations of multiple deprivation. The Index provides a relative measure of deprivation, and is used to compare small areas (datazones) across Scotland by providing each zone with a unique ranking from most deprived (rank 1) to least deprived (rank 6,505). While the SIMD measures concentrations of deprivation it is not a measure of relative affluence and should not be used as such. For example, it is not possible to say the area ranked 6,505 is the most affluent in Scotland but it is possible to say it is the least deprived. Geography Datazones were developed by the then Scottish Executive during and are regarded as the core geography for the availability and analysis of statistics. Each datazone has a population of between 500 and 1,000 and the 6,505 datazones across Scotland have an average population of 808. East Dunbartonshire has 127 datazones (shown below). As can be seen from the map below towns and villages are marked by clusters of small datazones in contrast to the larger datazones found in rural areas. Datazones are coded with an eight digit identifier but are not specifically named. As such each datazone has been assigned to its relevant named intermediate geography, e.g. S is the village of Twechar. Following the 2011 Census the datazones are due to be redrawn to reflect changes in population and to continue to provide a reliable comparison to other datazones. Existing boundaries will be split or merged with other datazones if necessary but no other boundaries will change. East Dunbartonshire Datazones 45
