Population Estimates & Projections
Mid Year Population Estimates
The estimated resident population of an area includes all people who usually live there, whatever their nationality.

Students are taken to be resident at their term time address.

The methodology used to update mid-year estimates includes an estimate of the population change due to flows of International migrants. These flows are based on estimates of long-term international migrants (where stays of over twelve months only are counted).

Population Projections for Tyne and Wear Local Authorities
The current 2010 based population projections (published by ONS on the 21/03/12) project forward the mid 2010 population estimates to give an indication of future trends in population by age and sex for the next 25 years from 2010 to 2035.
Being trend based projections, assumptions for future levels of births, deaths and migration are based on observed levels over the previous five years (2006 to 2010). They show what the population will be if recent trends continue. They do not take into account any future policy changes or local development policies that have not yet occurred.
