What are our assumptions?

Migration

Major migration assumptions:

  • Generally consistent migration profile across the 2002-2011 period
  • Some attraction of young families (0-14 and 25-39 years)
  • Loss of population in the young adult age groups (18-24 years), as home leavers move out of the area.
  • Gain of retirees (60-69 years)
