LOCAL PICTURE - Bradford In the last ten years, the population of Bradford has begun to grow more rapidly again increasing from 467,668 in 2001 to an estimated 512,600 in 2010 which is an increase of about 10% . This is partly due to the number of births being greater than the number of deaths, and partly due to net international migration, where the people moving into Bradford from outside the UK outnumber the people migrating from Bradford . This trend is predicted to continue throughout the 21st century with ONS predictions forecasting an increase in population to between 588,000 and 626,000 people within the district by 2030.
Some areas of Bradford are deprived in almost every respect. A stark profile of Bradford (2010) has revealed that the gap between rich and poor is bigger than anywhere else in the country. Although the gap between rich and poor is the country’s worst, Bradford is only ranked the 32nd most deprived local authority out of the 354 in England Child poverty is rife and unemployment stands at a 13-year high. These pockets of multi-faceted deprivation are more common in Bradford than anywhere other than Liverpool, Blackpool, Birmingham and Leeds. Severe deprivation affects many different areas; parts of the district are amongst the most deprived 1% of areas in England.

Bradford has the highest rate of coronary heart disease of all the West Yorkshire Local Authorities. High mortality rates from this disease are related to the high levels of deprivation, with Manningham, Toller, Little Horton, Bowling & Barkerend and Bradford Moore wards having some of the highest rates.

And 19.9% of Year 6 children in the district are obese as opposed to 18.6% for Yorkshire and Humber. Keighley Central, Wyke, Toller, Manningham and Heaton wards in 07/08 had the highest rates of Child Obesity for Year 6 pupils.

Figures out today show the number of patients admitted to hospital with alcohol-related illness has soared in the Bradford district.... “When I started training nearly 20 years ago, it was 40 to 50-year-old men in hospital with liver disease. Now we are seeing young women – I have patients in their mid-20s who are unlikely to survive a year. My youngest who died was 25.” ... After midnight, around 70 per cent of patients admitted to BRI through A&E are there because of alcohol. Many are incapacitated and need somewhere safe to sleep it off, while others have been assaulted or in road traffic accidents. (T & A 2010)
Drugs in Bradford Drug users in the district are predominantly in the 25‐44 age groups and are ageing. Home Office data estimates for the prevalence of opiate use and / or crack cocaine use for the period 2006/07 showed that the estimated number of problem drug users in Bradford is 5,303; a rate of 16.5 per 1000 population aged 16-64.
EMPLOYMENT More than 1 in 3 people of working age in the Bradford district are currently out of work. Bradford has one of the lowest proportions of working age residents in employment of any local authority in the Yorkshire and Humber region and the proportion is lower than the national average. Worklessness is much higher among women in Bradford compared to regional and national averages. Ethnic minority groups experience higher than average workless benefit claimant rates. Those with no, or low qualification levels have the highest levels of worklessness and are the most disadvantaged group in the labour market. Worklessness rates vary by age but are higher within the younger population, with 42% of 16 to 24 year olds out of work. Disability or illness is a significant factor, with around 37% of the workless population in Bradford classed as disabled. Youth unemployment will be of increasing concern, as more school leavers and graduates enter a labour market where jobs are scarce. Bradford Joint Strategic Needs Assessment Published: March 2011
