Indicators of Sustainable Development |
| | Sustainable Development Home | Indicators Home | Introduction | |
The overall population of the UK had increased to 59.1 million by 2001 and is projected to rise to 65.4 million by 2051. The number of households in Great Britain was estimated to be 24.1 million in 2001 and is projected to rise to 26.2 million by 2011. Household numbers are driven by population growth, changes in the age structure of the population, and changes in family structures and lifestyles.
In 1990, 34 per cent of new retail floorspace was created in town centres. By 2000 this had increased to 51 per cent of the total each year.
In 2003, 3.6 per cent of grade I and II* buildings in England were considered to be at risk through neglect or decay.
In the 2002-3 British Crime Survey, 15 per cent of people were very worried about physical attack, down from 18 per cent in 1998. 22 per cent of women said they were very worried, down from 27 per cent, but there was little change amongst men.
