Population Estimates
The General Register Office for Scotland - GROS - produce annual mid-year population estimates for Scotland’s local authorities. This estimate is calculated by rolling forward the previous year’s population and adjusting for births, deaths, and migration using NHS doctor registrations and other changes. Table 1.1 shows the latest population estimate for Stirling is 86,370. As with Scotland, Stirling has a slightly larger proportion of females than males.

Table 1.2 displays Stirling’s and Scotland’s population across nine different age groups representing preschool (0-4), primary school (5-11), secondary school (12-15), young people (16-24), younger working age (25-44), older working age (45-64), and three groups of older people (65+). The table shows that Stirling has an age profile that is similar to the Scottish average, at this level of detail.

Source: GROS 2005 Figure 1.1 shows that the majority of the population lies in the 16-60 age group, but with a significant dip in the 23-35 age group. This may be cause for concern as it forms a significant part of the present workforce in Stirling. Stirling’s population patterns largely follow that of Scotland but its ‘highs’ and ‘lows’ are slightly more accentuated than the national average. There is also a noticeable boost to numbers in the 18-23 age range, which is likely to reflect the Stirling University student population.

Components of Population Change 1991-2003
Four separate components are taken into account when calculating population change: births, deaths, migration (the balance of people moving in and out of the area) and other changes e.g. armed forces moving around the country. Migration is the most difficult component of population change to estimate. This is done by using anonymised data on people registered with an NHS doctor in Scotland. Table 1.3 compares the components of population change from 2003 to 2004 for Stirling and Scotland.

Population Trends 1991 - 2004
The figures below show that the population of the Stirling Council area has increased by 5,440 (almost 7%) over the last 12 years. Note that the population did not actually fall between 2001-02; previous population estimates had overestimated the population of Scotland by some 50,000. This overestimate was largely due to errors in previous migration estimates in the 1980s and 1990s. The 2002 mid-year estimates were adjusted to ensure that migration overestimates did not continue.

Urban and Rural Stirling
The Stirling Council area is characterised by its relatively sparse population, with an overall population density of 39 persons per square kilometre, compared with the Scottish figure of 65. Stirling’s population is 1.7% of the Scottish total, whilst its area accounts for 2.8% of Scotland’s total land cover (see Table 1.5).

As the map on the inside back cover shows, the larger urban settlements of Stirling, Bannockburn, Bridge of Allan, Dunblane and the settlements of Cowie, Plean and Fallin are clustered in and around the City of Stirling, within a relatively small south east corner of the Council area. The area’s smaller settlements are spread across an expansive rural area from Killin and Tyndrum in the north to Killearn and Strathblane in the south west.

Table 1.6 shows the classification used by the Scottish Executive to distinguish between urban, rural and remote areas and the proportions that relate to Stirling and Scotland. Over 60% of the population live in urban areas or accessible small towns. One third of Stirling Council’s population is Accessible Rural and one in 20 of the population live in an area classified as Remote Rural.

Settlement and Ward Populations
Stirling Council produces population estimates for each of its settlements (towns and villages) and wards. The previous year’s figures are rolled on to the next year by adding the population from new housebuilding over the previous twelve months, and ensuring the total of all settlements or ward populations equals the GROS mid-year estimate (currently 86,370 for Stirling). The settlement and ward populations for 2003 are outlined in Table 1.7 and Table 1.8. By far the largest settlement in the area is Stirling, with 31,514 residents, followed by Dunblane, Bannockburn and Bridge of Allan. The City of Stirling has an estimated population of just over 41,000 and includes the settlements of Stirling, Bannockburn, Cambusbarron and Cambuskenneth.

Registration Statistics: Births and Deaths by Local Area
Table 1.10 outlines information collected by Stirling Council area’s Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages from 1999-2003, across the six local Registrars. The table shows that on average there are 33 more deaths than births each year. However the last two years has seen births outnumber deaths by a total of 103, helping to increase Stirling’s population.

Settlement and Ward Populations
Stirling Council produces population estimates for each of its settlements (towns and villages) and wards. The previous year’s figures are rolled on to the next year by adding the population from new housebuilding over the previous twelve months, and ensuring the total of all settlements or ward populations equals the GROS mid-year estimate (currently 86,370 for Stirling). The settlement and ward populations for 2003 are outlined in Table 1.7 and Table 1.8. By far the largest settlement in the area is Stirling, with 31,514 residents, followed by Dunblane, Bannockburn and Bridge of Allan. The City of Stirling has an estimated population of just over 41,000 and includes the settlements of Stirling, Bannockburn, Cambusbarron and Cambuskenneth.
