The micro-geography of UK demographic change 1991-2001
Paul NormanSchool of Geography, University of Leeds
Understanding Population Trends & ProcessesESRC RES-163-25-0012 for 2005-07 @ 40%
Aims
1. Quantify and map changes in population size and social characteristics which occurred in UK’s small geographical areas between the 1991 and 2001 Censuses
2. Calculate components of demographic change to understand the relative contributions of natural change and migration
3. Calculate deprivation indexes to identify areas becoming differently deprived over time
4. Inform on locations where the population is ageing or more transient, along with small area trends in unemployment, health and deprivation
Small area geography of reporting: wards & equivalents
Calculating population change1991 and 2001 ‘ward’ populations not comparable:
• Boundary changes
• Differences in 1991 & 2001 Census population definition (students)
To estimate a 1991 base population, need to:
• Adjust populations to mid-year & to a consistent geography
• Allow for changed view of level of 1991 Census undercount
Collaboration with Ludi Simpson and Albert Sabater at CCSR
• Examples here using Birmingham

Estimating official 1991 populations
1990s viewpoint (original)
Official Mid-Year Estimates (MYEs) for 1991 districts
Based on 1991 Census ‘usual residents’ with adjustments for:
• Student term-time adjustment
• Demographic change between Census day & mid-1991
• Armed forces postings adjustment
Census under-enumeration (c. 1.2 million people)
• ‘Non-response’ adjustments (by age) ‘Other’ adjustments
Official MYEs for 1991 districts

Adjustments
Estimating with Confidence (EwC) 1991 small area MYEs
1990s viewpoint (original)
EwC estimated 1991 small area mid-year populations as:
Census ‘usual residents’ with allowances for:
• Student term-time adjustment
• Demographic change between census and mid-1991
• Modification adjustment (table consistency)
• Armed forces adjustment
• Residual non-response (by age)
An area-specific application of official district level adjustments

After 2001 Census 1991 MYEs revised
Adjustments• Non-response revised downwards• Other adjustments remain the same

Revising 1991 EwC small area MYEsPost-2001 viewpoint (revised)
For sub-district areas, by age & sex:
• Adjust EwC populations & adjustments to allow for 1991 to 2001 boundary changes
• Distribute original EwC non-response adjustments revisions on area-specific basis scaled by difference between 1991 MYEs district pre- & post-revisions
• No revisions made to the ‘other’ (student, armed forces, timing or modification) adjustments, which are still assumed to apply
• Ensure small area data sum to the 1991 revised district MYEs
Revising the non-response adjustmentFor males aged 20-24 in Birmingham
Assessing EwC revised
Total male non-response• Difference in estimates related to size of original non-response
Total male population• Different downward revisions
Assessing EwC revised Relationships should be maintained
Implications of EwC revisions 1991 to 2001 population change
Original cf. Revised …Net population change:• Growing wards grow more• Contracting wards contract less
Implications of EwC revisions
1991-2001 net malepopulation change
EwC Revised
1991-2001 net malepopulation change

Implications of EwC revisions Different age-sex structure of ward populations
District adjustments• Non-response revised downwards• Other adjustments remain the same
Ward adjustments• Reduction in number of males by age• In proportion to size of original non-response
Implications of EwC revisions EwC Original & Revised used as a denominator:
Male unemployment
Male (<65) SMRs
Extras about this work
Geographical data conversions are 1991 EDs to 2001 OAs
• Improved geographical detail & aggregation versatility
Revisions to EwC by quinary age-group
• OA 1991 populations to be estimated by single year of age to 90+
• IPF using extra information on 0s, late teens and 80-89 & 90+
Albert Sabater will extend these estimates by ethnic group
