Section 1: Demographic profile

Section 1: Demographic profile Geography North East Lincolnshire is a small unitary authority covering an area of 192km 2. The majority of the resident population live in the towns of Grimsby and Cleethorpes with the remainder living in the smaller town of Immingham, or in surrounding rural villages. 2011 Census figures classify 94.2% of the population of North East Lincolnshire as living in an urban environment 1 ; however North East Lincolnshire has a wide variety of parks and open spaces. On the Northern border, the Humber estuary has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and to the south, the Lincolnshire Wolds are recognised as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Cleethorpes gained 4 national Seaside Awards in 2015. 2 The boundary of North East Lincolnshire is comprised of 106 Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs); these LSOAs which contain a minimum population of 1,000 and a mean average of 1,500 are distributed amongst the fifteen electoral wards. Table 1.1 lists the fifteen electoral wards within North East Lincolnshire which are shown on the accompanying map (Fig. 1.1) Table 1.1: Electoral wards of North East Lincolnshire Croft Baker East Marsh Freshney Haverstoe Heneage Humberston and New Waltham Immingham Park Scartho Sidney Sussex South Waltham West Marsh Wolds Yarborough 1 Source: ONS, LA Classification ( post April 2009) 2 Source: Keep Britain Tidy, www.keepbritaintidy.org Page 1 of 15

Population An estimated 159,804 people live within the boundary of North East Lincolnshire, an increase of 1.1% in the 10 years since 2004. 3 The latest projections indicate an overall rise of 2.4% in the 25 years from 2012 to 2037, with the number of people aged 85+ predicted to more than double. The proportion of the population who are under 16 and the proportion of those of working age, are predicted to decrease, while the proportion of those aged 65 and over is predicted to increase considerably. 4 The age profile varies between wards. The proportion of 0 to 15 year olds in East Marsh, Heneage, Sidney Sussex, South and West Marsh wards is above the average (19%) for North East Lincolnshire while Haverstoe, Humberston and New Waltham and Waltham wards have the highest proportions ( over 25%) of people of pensionable age. 5 The overall population of ethnic minorities within North East Lincolnshire at the time of the 2011 Census was estimated at 4.6%, which is significantly lower than regional (14.2%) and national (20.2%) comparators; however the school census suggests that there is more diversity in the younger age groups. North East Lincolnshire school pupils are predominantly White British (90.8%) with a small, but increasing proportion from a Black or Minority Ethnic (BME) background (6.8%). The proportion of BME in each ward varies significantly with 9% or over in East Marsh, West Marsh, and Croft Baker down to 2.8% in Haverstoe ward. 6 The 2011 Census indicates that 60.7% of North East Lincolnshire residents are Christian. Of those estimated under another religion the highest percentage was Muslim at 0.8%. 30.4% of residents were indicated as having no religion. This is above comparator groups in England (24.7%) and the Yorkshire and Humber region (25.9%). 7 Latest internal migration figures for North East Lincolnshire estimate a small net outflow of 430 on an overall turnover of 9204 8. In 2013 3.9% of current North East Lincolnshire residents were born outside of the UK. Figures have remained the same in the 4 years 2010 to 2013. 9 In the 2011 census 9.3% of the resident population stated that their daily activities were significantly limited due to a health condition or disability. Locally, there is a higher proportion of people who care for 50 hours or more per week (29.8%) than seen regionally (24.5%) and nationally (23.1%). 10 In 2015, 2981 (12.5%) of school pupils were identified as having Special Education Needs, this has reduced substantially from 31.4% in 2010 and was below the Yorkshire and Humber region (15.1%) and all England figure (15.4%). Under new legislation, all new assessments from September 2014 have been for a combined Education Health and Care plan, replacing single SEN assessment. Of the 2981 children receiving SEN support 493 had EHC or SEN plans. 11 3 Source: Office for National Statistics, 2015.

The proportion of the population who are aged 0 to 15 decreased from 20.8% to 19% over 10 years (2004 to 2014). The proportion of those of pensionable age has increased from 17.8% in 2010 to 19.2 in 2014 following a decrease brought about by changes in pension age legislation. The proportion of those aged 90+ increased from 0.7% in 2010 to 0.9% in 2014. Mid-year estimates for 2013 show that the proportion of 0 to 15 year olds in East Marsh, Heneage, Sidney Sussex, South and West Marsh is above the average for the North East Lincolnshire area (19%). South Ward has the highest number of 0 to 15 year olds (3185) accounting for 25% of the ward population. More than 25% of the population of Haverstoe, Humberston and New Waltham and Waltham wards are of pensionable age Mid-2012 based population projections show an estimated population growth of 2.4% in NEL by 2037. Within the increase the percentage of people who are of pensionable age is projected to rise from 18.5% in 2012 to 26.8%. The number of people aged 90+ is predicted to rise from 1400 in 2012 to 4400 in 2037. 95.4% of the resident population of NEL are White British. The largest ethnic group in NEL is Other White, with 1.7% of the overall population. The proportion of ethnic minorities in NEL (4.6%) is significantly lower than seen in the Yorkshire and Humber region (14.2%) and in England as a whole (20.2%). 90.8% of school pupils in NEL in January 2015 were recorded as White British compared with 95.4% in January 2014. 6.8% of all pupils were recorded as Black or Minority Ethnic (BME) in January 2015; primary stage schools reported 7% BME. The proportion of BME in each ward varies significantly with 9% or over in East Marsh, West Marsh and Croft Baker down to 2.8% in Haverstoe ward. Park ward, which had the highest proportion of BME in 2014 (10%) reduced to 8.4% in 2015. In North East Lincolnshire 96.8% of the population felt that they had a British identity; 3.2% (approximately 5,000) people had a non-british identity. 1.9% (approximately 3,000 people) had a European identity.

Disability Evidence Annual Population Survey (April 2012 to Mar 2013) 18 2011 Census: Health and provision of unpaid care 9 Employment and Support Allowance ( ESA) and Incapacity benefits ( IB) November 2014 19 Religion ONS mid-year population estimates, by religion (2011 Census) 20 School Census (population) North East Lincolnshire Spring School Census (January 2015) 21 Special educational needs ( January 2015) 22 Key points As stated in the 2012/13 Annual Population Survey, 20.1% of the working age (16 to 64) population of North East Lincolnshire have a known disability. More women have a disability (22%) than men (18.2%). This is broadly in line with national and below Yorkshire and Humber comparator groups. An estimated 14,786 residents (9.3% of the population) felt that their daily activities were significantly limited due to a health condition or disability at the time of the 2011 census. An estimated 26.8% of all households in North East Lincolnshire had at least one person with a long-term health problem or disability at the time of the 2011 census. 2011 Census figures show that 15,993 residents provide unpaid care in North East Lincolnshire. Locally there is a higher proportion of people who care for 50 hours or more per week (29.8%) than seen regionally (24.5%) and nationally (23.1%). Figures for November 2014 show 7430 people claiming ESA or IB equivalent equates to 7.48% of the working age population, compared to 6.66% in Yorkshire and the Humber and 6.05% in England. The rate has increased from 7.34% in November 2010. 60.7% of the resident population of North East Lincolnshire are Christian. There has been a 15% decrease in the proportion of Christians living in North East Lincolnshire between 2001 and 2011. Muslims are the next most predominant religion, with 0.8% of the population, although this is significantly lower than the regional and national figures of 6.2% and 5%. 30.4% of people in North East Lincolnshire have stated that they have no religion or belief. The January 2015 School Census shows 23,541 children on roll. This is a small increase on the 23,526 reported in January 2010. Numbers of secondary school pupils (year 7 to 11) have fallen by 11% since 2010. 94.5% of all pupils study full time and there are more boys than girls in our schools (51.2% boys/48.8% girls). North East Lincolnshire school pupils are predominantly White British (90.8%) with a small, but increasing proportion from a Black or Minority Ethnic (BME) background (6.8%). The proportion of BME in each ward varies significantly with 9% or over in East Marsh, West Marsh, and Croft Baker down to 2.8% in Haverstoe ward. In January 2015, 2981 ( 12.5%) of school pupils were identified as having Special education needs, this has reduced substantially from 31.4% in 2010 and was below the Yorkshire and Humber region (15.1%) and all England figure (15.4%).

Migration Evidence ONS local area migration indicators (2011-2013) 23 Annual Population Survey ( APS) (2010-2013) 12 Child Population ONS mid-year population 24 25 estimates Key points During 2013 international outflow from North East Lincolnshire exceeded inflow by an estimated 100 people this reverses the position in 2011 when inward international migration exceeded outward flow by 400 people. Overall rates of international migration are low in North East Lincolnshire with a rate of 4 per 1000 people in 2013 compared with a rate of 13 in England and 10 in the Yorkshire and Humber region as a whole. Overall internal migration remained fairly static in the 3 years 2011 to 2013. In 2013 inward migration was 4300 people compared with outward migration of 4400. The majority of internal migration is accounted for by outward migration amongst the 15 to 19 year age group and inward migration in the 20 to 29 year age group, which is influenced by students going on to higher education out of the area and then a proportion returning afterwards. In the 2013 APS, 3.9% of current North East Lincolnshire residents were born outside of the UK. Figures have remained the same in the 4 years 2010 to 2013. The number of national insurance number registrations to overseas nationals (NINo) has averaged 516 in the 4 years 2010-11 to 2013/14. New GP registrations ( Flag 4) for people who have previously lived abroad have decreased from 624 to 501 ( 19.7%) in the 4 years 2009-10 to 2012-13 As of 2014 there were an estimated 37,956 0 to 19 year olds living in North East Lincolnshire compared with 38,600 in 2010, a decrease overall of 1.7% this was more than twice the decrease seen in the Humber region ( 0.8%). In 2014 50.9% of 0 to 19 year olds were male and 49.1% are female. The largest proportion (27%) of children was aged 0 to 4 years, while the fewest children (23%) were aged 10 to 14 years. Estimates for 2014 indicate that the number of 0 to 4 year olds and 5 to 9 years olds has increased by 4.3% and 12.7% respectively since 2010 while the number of 10 to 14 year olds and 15 to 19 year olds has decreased by 10.3% and 11.1%. Mid-year estimates for 2013 show that the proportion of 0 to 15 year olds in East Marsh, Heneage, Sidney Sussex, South and West Marsh is above the average for the North East Lincolnshire area (19%). South Ward has the highest number of 0 to 15 year olds (3185) accounting for 25% of the ward population. 23 Source: Local Area Migration Indicators, Office for National Statistics 24 Source : Office for National Statistics, 2015.

Households The latest projections estimate a 7.9% rise in households in North East Lincolnshire between 2012 and 2037 compared with 23.5% in England as a whole. Household projections are driven by assumptions of fertility, mortality, net migration and household formation behaviour, which is how the population groups into household units. The average household size is predicted to decrease from 2.26 persons in 2012 to 2.13 in 2037. 26 Of the 69,707 households estimated by the 2011 Census 63% are households with one family (a household with more than one resident), which includes married/same sex couples, co-habiting couples and lone parent families. 12.1% of households are lone parent households which is higher than regional (10.3%) and England (10.6%) averages. More homes are privately owned in North East Lincolnshire than the England average with 66.1% being owned outright or with a mortgage/loan compared to 63.4%. Twice as many houses are owned than rented with the percentage of private rents increasing from 10.1% in 2001 to 18.1% in 2011 27 26.8% of all households in North East Lincolnshire have at least one person with a long-term health problem or disability. This is 1.2% above national but in line with regional figures. 28 The number of dwellings (self-contained household spaces) in North East Lincolnshire increased by 1.8% between 2010 and 2014 to 72,450. 29 In 2013 2894 were identified as vacant dwellings, the percentage of vacant dwellings, which had been vacant long term, decreased from 33.6 % in 2010 to 25.5% in 2013. 30 39% of properties in North East Lincolnshire were build pre 1939 which is broadly in line with comparators however only 11% have been built after 1993 compared with 15% regionally. 31 There is good evidence to link fuel poverty and cold homes to negative health outcomes with older homes tending to be much less energy efficient than newly built homes. 32 Figure 1.3 shows the distribution of pre-1939 properties in North East Lincolnshire. 26 Source: DCLG 2015, 2012 based live tables on household projections from gov.uk 27 Source: Office for National Statistics, 2011 census 28 Source: Office for National Statistics, 2011 census 29 Source: Valuation Office Agency, 2015, Dwelling Stock by council bands 30 Source: Gov.uk, 2015, live tables on dwelling stock including vacants 31 Source: Gov.uk, 2015, Council tax stock of properties by property build period 32 Source: Public Health England 2014, Fuel poverty and cold home-related health problems Page 8 of 15

Latest Census figures (2011) shows there are 69,707 households in NEL, of which 63% are family households. North East Lincolnshire has seen a net increase of 5.5% in its number of households with at least one person between 2001 and 2011. This growth rate is lower than the Yorkshire and The Humber (7.7%) rate and lower than the England (7.9%) rate. 2012-based household projections predict a 7.9% increase in household numbers, to an estimated 75,407 by 2037. The average household size is predicted to go from 2.26 people in 2012 to 2.13 people in 2037. 12.1% of households in North East Lincolnshire are lone parent households. This is higher than the Yorkshire and the Humber region (10.3%) and higher than the England average (10.6%) Council tax figures indicate that the number of dwellings (self-contained household spaces) in North East Lincolnshire increased by 1.8% between 2010 and 2014 to 72,450 In 2013 2894 were identified as vacant dwellings, the percentage of vacant dwellings, which had been vacant long term, decreased from 33.6 % in 2010 to 25.5% in 2013. 39.1% of properties in North East Lincolnshire were built before 1939 compared with 37.7% in England and 39.7% in the Yorkshire and Humber region. 10.9% of properties in North East Lincolnshire were built between 1993 and 2015 compared to 15.8% nationally and 15.0% in the Yorkshire and Humber region. 66.1 % of households are either owned outright or owned with a mortgage or loan.

Deprivation Findings from the English Indices of Deprivation 2015 41 (ID 2015) show that North East Lincolnshire has high levels of socio-economic deprivation particularly within East Marsh, West Marsh and South wards. Figure 1.4 shows the distribution of deprivation across North East Lincolnshire. Each time an index is created every neighbourhood is ranked according to the level of deprivation relative to others. Comparing indices over time does not directly indicate changes in absolute deprivation however the latest index (2015) does indicate that North East Lincolnshire has an increasingly deprived overall picture relative to other local authorities. More people are income deprived (families that are out-of-work and families that are in work but who have low earnings and satisfy the respective means test) than employment deprived (those who would like to work but are unable to do so through unemployment, sickness or disability). 36% of children aged 0 to 15, and 19% of people aged over 60, live in areas of significant socio-economic disadvantage. The number of children eligible for free school meals increased by 1.2% between 2011 and 2015. Some individual schools have more than 40% of pupils eligible for free school meals. Evidence Key points Overall, North East Lincolnshire is ranked as the 31st most deprived local authority in England, out of 326. ( increased from 46th in the ID 2010.) 32,567 residents, which is approximately 20% of the population 43 are classed Deprivation band as income deprived. 25% of LSOAs are in the 10% most deprived for income nationally. English Indices of Deprivation 2015 42 15,140 residents are classed as employment deprived. 49% of the 106 LSOAs in North East Lincolnshire are ranked within the top 30% most deprived LSOAs in England.

Economy North East Lincolnshire has a distinctive economy, built on expertise in manufacturing, engineering, ports and logistics, and food processing. The local area has some significant advantages stemming from its location, labour force, and transport infrastructure that position it for growth in renewables, chemicals, advanced manufacturing and the food and drink sector. Taken together, Grimsby and Immingham constitute the UK s largest port by tonnage shipped 45 The rate of unemployment in North East Lincolnshire is decreasing, with a 2% drop from 2013 to 2014, but it remains higher than the regional or national rate. 46 In November 2014 13.9% of the working age population were claiming out of work benefits. Over half of all Job Seekers Allowance (JSA) claimants in North East Lincolnshire have been receiving JSA for less than six months and, by age group, the majority of claimants are aged 25-49. 47 Employment in public administration, education and health accounts for the highest proportion of employment nationally and locally; since 2010 there has been a 4.1% decrease in this area of employment in North East Lincolnshire while manufacturing has increased by 1.7% and transport by 2.1%.
