national records of scotland population estimates by sex - open data : This time-series dataset shows population estimates for the Stirling Council area from 2001 onwards. A percentage change attribute has also been added for each year total.National Records of Scotland Guidance;Numbers of births and deaths are obtained from the civil registration system. The latest international migration estimates use different datasources and methods for each nationality grouping:Non-EU nationals: Estimates are based on the Home Office Borders and Immigration data, which combine visa and travel information, to link an individual's travel movements into and out of the country.EU nationals: Estimates are largely based on administrative data using the Registration and Population Interaction Database (RAPID). Some adjustments are made using the International Passenger Survey (IPS).British nationals: The International Passenger Survey (IPS) is the main source of information. This is combined with 2022 Census data on the age and sex distribution of British passport holders to obtain council area level disaggregation.Migration within the UK is based on the National Health Service Central Register (NHSCR) and the Community Health Index (CHI).Armed forces data comes from the 2022 Census and from the Ministry of Defence.Data on prisoners based in Scotland is obtained from Justice Analytical Services in the Scottish Government.

open data - national records of scotland land population density mid-2022

This dataset is published as Open Datanational records of scotland - small area population estimates (2017 to 2021). This is the latest release of data based on small areas (datazones). The dataset contains information at the data zone level mid-year population estimates from 2017 onwards for the Stirling Council area. The published datasets for “All Persons”, “Females” and “Males” are sourced from the annually updated Small Areas Population Estimates (SAPE) on the National Records of Scotland (NRS) website.Of the 6,976 data zones in Scotland, each covering a population of between 500 and 1000 residents, there are 121 within the Stirling Council area.For each data zone within the Stirling Council area, this dataset details the total population and distribution by age for the above, and can be viewed by Ward, Intermediate Zone (IZ) and Scottish Parliamentary Constituency (SPC).© Crown Copyright 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024

population and society - scottish index of multiple deprivation 2020 (stirling)

Usual Resident Population Census 2022 - data has been processed to include Stirling Council's multi-member ward and community council information.Households:On Census Day there were 2,509,300 households with at least one usual resident. This is up 136,500 (5.8%) from the 2011 census. The percentage increase in the number of households (5.8%) was higher than the increase in the population (2.7%).The increase in the number of households was mostly due to a 106,700 increase in single person households (up 13.0%). The 2021 census in England and Wales showed a smaller percentage increase in single person households since 2011 (up 5.9%). The 2021 census in Northern Ireland showed a larger increase (up 19.5%).There were 930,000 single person households in Scotland in 2022. Over a third of all households were single person (37.1%). Single person was the most common household size, followed by two person households (856,000).Working with census statistics:Census statistics represent the total population rather than just those who completed the questionnaire. Since the 2001 censuses, statistical modelling has been used across the United Kingdom to produce total population estimates from census responses.As with all estimates, there is a level of uncertainty. Users should consider uncertainty when working with census estimates and interpreting small changes.Glossary:Age - A person's age on Census Day, 20 March 2022.Council Area - There are 32 council areas in Scotland. Councils provide public services, including education, social care, waste management, libraries and planning.Sex - This is the sex recorded by the person completing the census. The options were "Female" and "Male". NRoS provided guidance on how to answer the sex question.Household - A household is defined as: one person living alone, or a group of people (not necessarily related) living at the same address who share cooking facilities and share a living room or sitting room, or dining area. This includes: all sheltered accommodation units in an establishment (irrespective of whether there are other communal facilities), and all people living in caravans on any type of site that is their usual residence; this will include anyone who has no other usual residence elsewhere in the UKA household must contain at least one person whose place of usual residence is at the address. A group of short-term residents living together is not classified as a household, and neither is a group of people at an address where only visitors are staying.Household Type & Household Composition - These describe households according to the type of family present or the relationship between the household members. More information on the 'Household type' and 'Household composition' variables is available on our metadata pages.Marital and civil partnership status - The legal relationship a person has with another person on census day (20 March 2022) regardless of current living arrangements. Cohabiting couple - partners who have indicated that they live together but are not married or in a civil partnership. Lone-parent family - a family with a single male or female parent living with either dependent or non-dependent children.Dependent child - Dependent children are those living with their parent(s) and aged under 16, or aged 16 to 18 in full-time education. Children aged 16 to 18 who have a spouse, partner or child living in the household are not included.Non-dependent child - Non-dependent children are those living with their parent(s) and aged 19 or over, or aged 16 to 18 and not in full-time education. Children who have a spouse, partner or child living in the household are non-dependent. Non-dependent children are sometimes called adult children.Age of Arrival in UK - Age of arrival in the UK is calculated using the date that a person last arrived to live in the UK and their date of birth. Short visits away from the UK are not counted in determining the date that a person last arrived. Age of arrival is only recorded for people who were not born in the UK. Length of residence in the UK - Length of residence in the UK is calculated using the date that a person last arrived to live in the UK and census day. Short visits away from the UK are not counted in determining the date that a person last arrived.Length of residence in the UK is only recorded for people who were not born in the UK.

The Scottish Government published updated versions of Data Zones and Intermediate Zones (December 2024).Data Zones and Intermediate Zones have been updated to reflect changes to population and other geographical boundaries since they were last revised in 2014 following the 2011 Census. In particular, the proposed changes have been produced to align with new population data from the 2022 Census.Data Zones are the key geography for the dissemination of small area statistics in Scotland and are widely used across the public sector. Composed of groups of Census Output Areas, Data Zones are large enough that statistics can be presented accurately without fear of disclosure and yet small enough that they can be used to represent communities. They are designed to have roughly standard populations of 500 to 1,000 household residents, nest within local authorities (at the time of the Census), and have compact shapes that respect physical boundaries where possible. When Data Zones were originally created for the 2001 Census, they were designed to contain households with similar social characteristics. Aggregations of Data Zones can be used to provide estimates for higher level geographies where official statistics might not otherwise be available. Data Zones also represent a relatively stable geography that can be used to analyse change over time, with changes only occurring after a Census. Following the update to Data Zones using 2022 Census data, there are now 7,392 Data Zones covering the whole of Scotland.What are Data Zones and Intermediate Zones?Data Zones are statistical geographies used to produce small area statistics at a local level. They are designed to have a population of between 500 and 1,000 people, making them small enough to describe communities while also being large enough to avoid disclosing personal information.They serve two main functions in the production of official statistics. Firstly, they provide a standard, stable geography for the production and publication of statistics at a local area on a wide range of topics. Secondly, aggregations of Data Zones can be used to provide estimates for higher level geographies where official statistics might not otherwise be available.Intermediate Zones are similar to Data Zones but cover a larger population and area. They are used to produce local area statistics where statistics cannot be published at Data Zone level due to the risk of disclosing sensitive information.How Data Zones and Intermediate Zones will be usedThe revised Data Zones boundaries have been published on the Scottish Government’s spatial data platform and are now available for use by statistics producers.Data Zone BoundariesData Zone CentroidsIntermediate Zone BoundariesIntermediate Zone CentroidsA csv geography lookup table aggregating from 2022 Data Zones to higher level geographies is available on statistics.gov.scot.Census data for the new Data Zones and Intermediate Zones will be published in 2025.

This dataset contains the National Records of Scotland (NRS) birth time series data for the Stirling Council area.

For each year since 2010, this dataset shows the National Records of Scotland estimated life expectancy figures at birth for females and males within the Stirling Council area.

This dataset is published as Open Data.2022 Census Settlement:The 2022 Census Settlement boundaries have been created using the Census 2022 frozen Postcode boundaries.National Records of Scotland (NRS) create Settlement boundaries by categorising Postcodes as either high or low density. A Postcode was defined as high density if at least one of the following applied:It had more than 2.1 households per hectare.It had more than 0.1 non-residential addresses per hectare; orThe Census population per hectare exceeds five people.The threshold densities were set as they were found to give a good approximation to the built-up areas identified in previous Censuses using traditional methods. The second condition was included such that non-residential parts (e.g. industrial estates) of built-up areas could be identified and included.An additional rule was implemented from the 2016 (non-Census) version, which stated that any Postcodes which fell within the previous version Settlement boundary(based on centroid point in polygon assignment) would automatically be included in the new Settlement.The classified Postcodes were then grouped into areas of neighbouring high-density Postcodes, or ‘Settlements’. Areas of low-density Postcodes completely surrounded by the high-density areas (i.e. ‘holes’) were incorporated into the Settlement.Populations for each area were then calculated, and any settlement with fewer than 500 residents was discarded.2022 Census Settlement and Locality CentroidsEach population weighted centroid was calculated using a median centroid algorithm, the result of which is less influenced by outliers than the result of an algorithm to calculate the mean centroid. The process for creating Census 2022 Settlements centroids was automated usingESRI ArcGIS, but the general method is as follows. The median easting and northing coordinate pair for all Census 2022 frozenPostcodes within the Settlement is calculated, giving a notional centroid of the Settlement. The distance from each of the Postcode centroids to the notional (or median) centroid is calculated using Pythagoras' Theorem. The Postcode coordinate pair with the shortest distance to the median was then chosen to represent the centroid of the Settlement/Locality.

This dataset is published as Open DataScottish Index of Multiple Deprivation, Small Area Population Estimates, and Child Poverty The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation 2020 is the Scottish Government’s official tool for identifying those places in Scotland suffering from deprivation. It incorporates several different aspects of deprivation (employment, income, health, education, skills and training, geographic access, crime and housing), combining them into a single index.The 2020 Index provides a relative ranking for small areas in Scotland, defined by the Scottish Neighbourhood Statistics (SNS) Data Zone 2011 geography, from 1 (most deprived) to 6,976 (least deprived). By identifying small areas where there are concentrations of multiple deprivation, the SIMD can be used to target policies and resources at the places with greatest need. The SIMD also provides a rank for each data zone within each of the seven domains, and therefore it is possible to look at individual aspects of deprivation for each area, as well as the overall level of deprivation.National Records of Scotland Small Area Population Estimates (2021)Child Poverty by Datazone (2022/23)

The National Records of Scotland publish Deaths by Sex annually and this dataset shows an extract for the Stirling Council area from the year 2000 onwards. Provisional data are published on a quarterly basis around 10 weeks after the end of the quarter. These annual figures represent the final figures for the calendar year and supersede the provisional weekly, monthly and quarterly figures already published. Information about (for example) the sources, methods, definitions and reliability of these statistics is available from the following NRS web site pages:general background information on Vital Events statistics andbackground information on points which are specific to statistics about deaths. These figures are directly comparable with those for other parts of the UK, there are no significant differences across the UK in how Vital Events data are collected and processed.More detailed commentary on the final Vital Events statistics for calendar years as a whole can be found in the relevant chapters of Scotland's Population - the Registrar General's Annual Review of Demographic Trends.

output area boundaries scotland's census 2022 - open dataThis dataset shows the 2022 Census Output Areas (OAs). OAs are the smallest geographical unit for which Census data is released, and as a result, they act as the basic “building-blocks” for the creation of other statistical geographies, e.g. Data Zones. The OAs are constructed by aggregating together a small number of Postcodes. Because the OAs cover small areas and contain relatively small numbers of households and population (households in the range 25 to 89; population >= 60), there is only a limited amount of Census data that can be released without infringing confidentiality.An important requirement during the creation of the 2022 OAs was to attempt to keep the boundaries the same, or similar, as the 2011 OAs – this would make it easier to compare over the time periodSchema;Local Authority CodeLocal AuthorityOutput Area CodeMaster PostcodeEasting (X)Northing (Y)

This dataset has been clipped to Stirling Council's Planning Policy BoundaryThe Scottish Government (SG) Urban Rural Classification provides a consistent way of defining urban and rural areas across Scotland. The classification aids policy development and the understanding of issues facing urban, rural and remote communities. It is based upon two main criteria: (i) population as defined by National Records of Scotland (NRS), and (ii) accessibility based on drive time analysis to differentiate between accessible and remote areas in Scotland. The classification can be analysed in a two, three, six or eight fold form. The two-fold classification simply distinguishes between urban and rural areas through two categories, urban and rural, while the three-fold classification splits the rural category between accessible and remote. Most commonly used is the 6-fold classification which distinguishes between urban, rural, and remote areas through six categories. The 8-fold classification further distinguishes between remote and very remote regions. The Classification is normally updated on a biennial basis, with the current dataset reflective of the year 2022.

National Records of Scotland Guidance;What is ‘period’ life expectancyAll of the estimates presented in this report are ‘period’ life expectancy. They are calculated assuming that mortality rates for each age group in the time period (here 2021-2023) are constant throughout a person’s life. Period life expectancy is often described as how long a baby born now could expect to live if they experienced today’s mortality rates throughout their lifetime. It is very unlikely that this would be the case as it means that future changes in things such as medicine and legislation are not taken into consideration.Period life expectancy is not an accurate prediction of how long a person born today will actually live, but it is a useful measure of population health at a point in time and is most useful for comparing trends over time, between areas of a country and with other countries.How national life expectancy is calculatedThe latest life expectancy figures are calculated from the mid-year population estimates for Scotland and the number of deaths registered in Scotland during 2021, 2022, and 2023. Life expectancy for Scotland is calculated for each year of age and represents the average number of years that someone of that age could expect to live if death rates for each age group remained constant over their lifetime. Life expectancy in Scotland is calculated as a three-year average, produced by combining deaths and population data for the three-year period. Three years of data are needed to provide large enough numbers to make these figures accurate and lessen the effect of very ‘good’ or ‘bad’ years. Throughout this publication, the latest life expectancy figures refer to 2021-2023 period. How sub-national life expectancy is calculatedWe calculate life expectancy for areas within Scotland using a very similar method to the national figures but with a few key differences. Firstly, we use age groups rather than single year of age. This is to increase the population size of each age group to reduce fluctuations and ensure accurate calculation of mortality rates. Secondly, we use a maximum age group of 90+ whereas the national figures are calculated up to age 100. These are known as ‘abridged life tables.’ Because these methods produce slightly different figures, we also calculate a Scotland figure using the abridged method to allow for accurate comparisons between local areas for example. This Scotland figure is only for comparison and does not replace the headline national figure. You can read more information about the methods in this publication in our methodology guide on the NRS website. Uses of life expectancyLife expectancy at birth is a very useful indicator of mortality conditions across a population at a particular point in time. It also provides an objective means of comparing trends in mortality over time, between areas of a country and with other countries. This is used to monitor and investigate health inequalities and to set public health targets. Life expectancy is also used to inform pensions policy, research and teaching.
