Description

**Trend-based projections** Four variants of trend-based population projections and corresponding household projections are currently available to download. These are labelled as High, Central and Low and differ in their domestic migration assumptions beyond 2017. The economic crisis has been linked to a fall in migration from London to the rest of the UK and a rise in flows from the UK to London. The variants reflect a range of scenarios relating to possible return to pre-crisis trends in migration. **High:** In this scenario, the changes to domestic migration flows are considered to be structural and recent patterns persist regardless of an improving economic outlook. **Low:** Changes to domestic migration patterns are assumed to be transient and return to pre-crisis trends beyond 2018. Domestic outflow propensities increase by 10% and inflows decrease by 6% as compared to the High variant. **Central:** Assumes recent migration patterns are partially transient and partially structural. Beyond 2018, domestic outlow propensities increase by 5% and inflows by 3% as compared to the High variant. **Central - incorporating 2012-based fertility assumptions:** Uses the same migration assumptions as the Central projeciton above, but includes updated age-specific-fertility-rates based on 2011 birth data and future fertility trends taken from ONS's 2012-based National Population Projections. The impact of these changes is to increase fertility by ~10% in the long term. **GLA 2013 round trend-based population projections:** [Borough: High](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/2013rnd_trend_high_population_projection.xlsx) [Borough: Low](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/2013rnd_trend_low_population_projection.xlsx) [Borough: Central](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/2013rnd_trend_central_population_projection.xlsx) [Borough: Central - incorporating 2012-based NPP fertility assumptions](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/2013rnd_trend_proj_central_2012npp_fertility.xlsx) [Ward: Central](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/2013rnd_ward_shlaa_trend_sya.xls) **GLA 2013 round trend-based household projections:** [Borough: High](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/2013rnd_trend_high_household_projection_extrapolated.xlsx) [Borough: Low](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/2013rnd_trend_low_household_projection_extrapolated.xlsx) [Borough: Central](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/2013rnd_trend_central_household_projection_extrapolated.xlsx) **GLA 2013 round ethnic group population projections:** [Borough: Central](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/egpp_r2013_trend_central_r0.zip) **Updates:** [Update 03-2014: GLA 2013 round of trend-based population projections - Methodology](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/update-03-2014-2013rnd_trend-proj-methodology.pdf) [Update 04-2014: GLA 2013 round of trend-based population projections - Results](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/update-04-2014-2013rnd-trend-proj-results.pdf) [Data to accompany Update 04-2014](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/update-04-2014-GLA-2013rnd-projections-results-data.xls) [Update 12-2014: GLA 2013 round ethnic group population projections](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/update-12-2014-r2013-ethnic-group-population-projections.pdf) [Data to accompany Update 12-2014](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/update-12-2014-R2013-final-EGPP-data.xls) **Housing linked projections** Two variants of housing-linked projections are available based on housing trajectories derived from the 2013 Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA). The two variants are produced using different models to constrain the population to available dwellings. These are referred to as the _DCLG-based model_ and the _Capped Household Size model_. These models will be explained in greater detail in an upcoming Intelligence Unit Update. **Projection Models:** **DCLG-Based Model** This model makes use of Household Representative Rates (HRR) from DCLG’s 2011-based household projections to convert populations by age and gender into households. The models uses iteration to find a population that yields a total number of households that matches the number of available household spaces implied by the development data. This iterative process involves modulating gross migration flows between each London local authority and UK regions outside of London. HRRs beyond 2021 have been extrapolated forward by the GLA. The model also produces a set of household projections consistent with the population outputs. **Capped Household Size Model** This model was introduced to provide an alternative projection based on the SHLAA housing trajectories. While the projections given by the DCLG-Based Model appear realistic for the majority of London, there are concerns that it could lead to under projection for certain local authorities, namely those in Outer London where recent population growth has primarily been driven by rising household sizes. For these boroughs, the Capped Household Size model provides greater freedom for the population to follow the growth patterns shown in the Trend-based projections, but caps average household size at 2012 levels. For boroughs where the DCLG-based SHLAA model gave higher results than the Trend-based model, the projections follow the results of the former. Household projections are not available from this model. **Development assumptions:** **SHLAA housing data** These projections incorporate development data from the 2013 Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) database to determine populations for 2012 onwards. Development trajectories are derived from this data for four phases: 2015-20, 2021-25, 2026-30, and 2031-36. For 2012-14, data is taken from the 2009 SHLAA trajectories. No data is included in the database for beyond 2036 and the 2031-36 trajectories are extended forward to 2041. This data was correct as at February 2014 and may be updated in future. Assumed development figures will not necessarily match information in the SHLAA report as some data on estate renewals is not included in the database at this time. **GLA 2013 round SHLAA-based population projections:** [Borough: SHLAA-based](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/gla-2013rnd-shlaa-population-projections.xlsx) [Borough: capped SHLAA-based](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/gla_2013rnd_shlaa_capped_population_projections.xlsx) [Ward: SHLAA-based](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/2013rnd_ward_shlaa_dclg_sya.xls) [Ward: capped SHLAA-based](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/2013rnd_ward_shlaa_capped_sya.xls) **GLA 2013 round SHLAA-based household projections:** [Borough: SHLAA-based](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/2013rnd_shlaa_household_projection_extrapolated.xlsx) **GLA 2013 round SHLAA-based ethnic group population projections:** [Borough: SHLAA-based](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/egpp_r2013_shlaa_chs_r0.zip) **Zero-development projections** The GLA produces so-called zero-development projections for London that assume that future dwelling stocks remain unchanged. These projections can be used in conjunction with the SHLAA-based projections to give an indication of the modelled impact of the assumed development. Variants are produced consistent with the DCLG-based and Capped Household Size projections. Due to the way the models operate, the former assumes no development beyond 2011 and the latter no development after 2012. **GLA 2013 round zero development population projections:** [Borough: DCLG zero development](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/gla_2013rnd_zero_dev_dclg_population_projections.xlsx) [Borough: capped zero development](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/gla_2013rnd_zero_dev_capped_population_projections.xlsx) [Ward: DCLG zero development](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/2013rnd_ward_zero_development_dclg_sya.xls) [Ward: capped zero development](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/2013rnd_ward_zero_dev_capped_sya.xls) **Frequently asked question: which projection should I use?** The GLA Demography Team recommends using the Capped Household Size SHLAA projection for most purposes. The main exception to this is for work estimating future housing need, where it is more appropriate to use the trend-based projections.
