Presentation Outline • Background • Broad Methodology - Wales • Wales Results / Issues • Future Plans
Background • 2003-based household projections for Wales (2006) • only available at regional level • Last set under DCLG / Anglia Ruskin contract • Opportunity to develop own methodology 2007-08 • Population and Households • Local Authority level projections • Not constrained Wales NPP ≠∑ 22 Local Authority Projections
Background • Membership method chosen 2008 • 2006-based household projections for Wales published June 2009 • 2008-based set September 2010 • Variant projections • Also National Park projections • Using HOUSEGROUP WALES (forerunner to Derived Forecasts)
Variant Projections • Produced using available variant population projections • High: high fertility and low mortality • Low: low fertility and high mortality • Natural Change only / Zero Migration
Household Estimates • Household Estimates 2010 (Feb 2011) • Based on ONS population estimates not Council Tax estimates • Effectively ‘projected estimates’ • Populations – estimated • Household membership rates - projected
Broad Methodology • Use Membership Rates • Household types based on size and presence of children • Census data used to project membership rates • APS considered but rejected • Outputs broken down by household type
The Membership Method • Formula: where hi = total households in year i t = household type ag = age and gender group popagi = population in age and gender group ag in year i commagi = communal establishment population in age and gender group ag in year i yagti = membership rate for age and gender group ag and household type t in year i sizet = household size for type t
Membership Rates • Data from 1991 and 2001 Censuses used as APS/LFS data not suitable • Two point exponential model used as a result: where i = the year yi = membership rate in year i k = 1 if y2001 ≥ y1991 0 if y2001 < y1991 a = y1991 – k b = (y2001 – k)/(y1991 – k) xi = (i – 1991)/(2001 – 1991)
Projected Total Population, Wales Source: Government Actuary’s Department / ONS
Future Plans • Look at Migration assumptions in LA Population Projections • Assess projections vs 2011 Census results • Analysis of ‘actual’ vs ‘projected’ 2011 figures • Third point to project household trends from • New Assumption for Communal Establishments population
Future Plans • Shorter time lag between LA Population and Household Projections • Membership rate variants ?
