A Holdingham Population Profile

The Lincolnshire Research Observatory has published 2001 Census details, of Lincolnshire down to individual Wards, which are extremely useful. Obviously this profile is changing as the population grows and changes in terms of age, ethnic background and other factors. Other data includes the 2005 Mid Year Population Estimates. However take this data as early 2000s.

The next Census in 2 or 3 years will be very interesting as it affects the amenities, employment, education and other facilities needed in the area.

I was somewhat surprised that Holdingham is generally younger than North Kesteven and England/Wales. Here are the statistics: more to follow when I have digested the Census.
