Household Projections for National Parks, 2008 based - Revised

Statistics on Household Projections in National Parks include data for Wales for the period 2008 to 2033.

The key points from the latest release are:

Total Households

• Household numbers in National Park Authority areas in Wales are projected to increase by between 13 and 16 per cent between 2008 and 2033, compared to a 25 per cent increase for Wales as a whole.

Private Household Population

• Private household populations in National Park Authority areas in Wales are projected to increase by 2023 but start to decrease after that in Brecon Beacons and Pembrokeshire Coast National Parks. By comparison, the private household population for Wales as a whole is projected to continue to increase, growing by 11 per cent by 2033.

Households by Type

• One person households are projected to become the most common household type in all National Parks in Wales by 2023.
• Together 1 and 2 person households without children are projected to make up three quarters of all households in all National Parks in Wales by 2023.
• Average household size for National Parks areas in Wales is projected to be lower than for Wales as a whole, and to decrease below 2 persons per household by 2023.

Revision note

Figures for Brecon Beacons National Park have been revised due to an error in the data used to project household membership rates. This affected projected total households, projected households by type, and projected average household size for Brecon Beacons National Park. Data were revised on 20 March 2012.
