Population, Projections and Population Characteristics

Tables 1 and 5-12 illustrate key characteristics of the 622,050 people living in Glasgow City with comparison to the 5.45 million population of Scotland, according to the most recent Small Area Population Estimates (2022 SAPE). These characteristics include population density, gender, age, ethnicity, asylum seekers/refugees, English language proficiency, main language, country of birth, sexual orientation and religion.

Please note that due to their large size, Tables 2a-c, 3a-c, 4a-c, 6b-c and 7b-c are not included in this Profile narrative format. These tables are detailed population estimates by single year of age or age-band and gender for HSCP localities, electoral wards and neighbourhoods and are available in the Excel file accompanying this report.

Tables 13a-b show the estimated population projections of Glasgow and Scotland over the 20 year period 2024 to 2043. (These projections were published in March 2020 and do not therefore take account of any impact that the coronavirus pandemic may have had on population).

Tables 14a-b show the estimated population projections of Glasgow by locality and ward 2024 to 2030. (These projections are 'experimental statistics' which were published in August 2020 and do not therefore take account of any impact that the coronavirus pandemic may have had on population).

Key Points (Tables 5a-c)

  1. Glasgow has an 11.4% share of Scotland's all people population, an 11.5% share of Scotland's male population and an 11.3% share of Scotland's female population. Most people, males and females living in Glasgow live in the South (All, F and M 36.6%) followed by North West (All and M 35.4%, F 35.5%) and then North East (All and M 28.0%; F 27.9%) localities.
  2. North East and South localities have very similar profiles in terms of population share by age-band. North West has a lower percentage share of children and older people population and a higher share of adult population for all people, males and females.
  3. There are more females than males overall in all three Glasgow localities, Glasgow City and Scotland with this also reflected in the gender balance of the adult and older people populations (with the exception of South locality where there are more adult males than females). For children, there are more boys than girls in each of the localities, Glasgow City and Scotland.

Notes:
*Scotland's Census 2022 groups all Other White and Black Minority Ethnic backgrounds together in it's high level reporting of Minority Ethnic background. 
This includes some ethnic groups that were in the White category on the Census form such as Irish, Polish, Gypsy/Traveller, Roma and Showman/Showwoman.
This subtotal is therefore shown as well as separate subtotals for Other White and Black Minority Ethnic backgrounds. 

Key Points (Table 8a)

  1. The ethnic profile of Glasgow's population is very different from that of Scotland overall with Glasgow City having a percentage of Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) people (19.3%) almost 3 times that of Scotland (7.1%). There are also differences in the ethnic profile of the population within Glasgow with a BME population in North East of 14.3%, North West 20.9% and South 21.4%.

Please note that the undernoted population projections are high quality estimates based on past trends using certain assumptions which do not take account of the many factors that may influence population change. Further information on limitations is available on the NRS website. Major factors that have impacted on population since these 2018 based projections were calculated include the Covid pandemic and Brexit, for instance.

Key Points (Table 13a-b)

  1. The total population of Glasgow is forecast to increase by more than 7,400 people (1.2%) between 2024 and 2029, by almost 14,900 (2.3%) between 2024 and 2034 and by more than 24,400 (3.8%) between 2024 and 2043. Lower rates of overall population growth are forecast for Scotland of 0.7% between 2024 and 2029, 1.3% between 2024 and 2034 and 1.3% between 2024 and 2043.
  2. It is expected that the adult population of Glasgow will increase marginally over the ten-year period 2024 and 2034 by 0.3%, while the child population is likely to decrease by 6.0% during this time. Both the adult and child population of Scotland is expected to decrease between 2024 and 2034 by 2.3% (adults) and 7.5% (children). The older people population of both Glasgow and Scotland is expected to grow hugely over this 10-year period by 22.3% (Glasgow) and 19.0% (Scotland).
  3. In the 19 year period 2024 to 2043, the Glasgow child population is likely to decrease by 6.8% compared to a 8.7% decrease for the Scotland child population. The Glasgow adult population is expected to grow by 1.6% over this period while the adult population of Scotland is expected to decrease by 2.9%. The older people population of both Glasgow and Scotland is expected to grow hugely over this period by 27.3% (Glasgow) and 22.7% (Scotland).
Tables 14a-b. Population Projections 2024 to 2030 - Number of People and Percentage Change

The undernoted population projections by electoral ward are experimental statistics that have been calculated by the Improvement Service. They are high quality estimates based on past trends using certain assumptions which do not take account of the many factors that may influence population change. These calculations were made using 2018 population data, before the pandemic and Brexit impacted on population for instance. Population projections are less reliable for small populations and reliability decreases the further you go into the future. These detailed figures should be treated with caution. Further information on the limitations of these Projections is available on the Improvement Service website.
