Elderly population growth

 

By 2031:

  • Staffordshire’s elderly population (85+) will increase by 42% - a rise of 10,200 people.
  • Similar to national, growth in the older population is greater than the working age population, resulting in fewer working age people to support the young and the old.
  • Staffordshire population aged 50-64 years falling faster than national. 

These trends represent an increasing demand on public services.
