2011 Census

The 2011 census is providing some interesting information on 

Brent and Willesden.  As we have suspected all along our 

population numbers have been grossly underestimated 

in the past ten years, costing the borough many thousands in 

government grants.  Willesden data shows that in comparison 

with other wards, Willesden is:

The 6^th in population growth (up 22.39%)

The 5^th in households with more than one resident ( 17.03%)

Those aged  5 – 19 comprise 17.7% of total and overall ward is 3^rd 

with population of 0 -19 year olds (so a very ‘young’ ward)

32,676 residents are aged 65 + (putting ward 19^th for this age group)

We will have other data for the ward in the coming months
