Population Profile

Grantham and Rural's population is projected to grow by 6.5% by 2035. The area has a higher proportion of children and young people compared to the county average, while the older adult population is slightly lower. Notably, 25% of residents live in the least deprived quintile, and 8.3% reside in the most deprived quintile. Life expectancy stands at 82.6 years, surpassing the Lincolnshire average of 81.6 years, with a lower premature mortality rate of 294 per 100,000 people. Crime rates are modestly lower than the county average, at 8,341 incidents per 100,000 people, and the unemployment rate is marginally lower at 4.1%.

Projections indicate a significant demographic shift, with the population aged 65 and over expected to increase by 29.8% by 2035, and those aged over 85 anticipated to rise by 66.7%. These changes suggest an increasing demand for healthcare and support services tailored to an aging population. The area exhibits a relatively balanced socioeconomic status, with a substantial portion of the population in less deprived quintiles. Health outcomes are favorable, as evidenced by higher life expectancy and lower premature mortality rates compared to county averages. While crime and unemployment rates are slightly below county averages, ongoing attention to these factors remains essential to maintain and improve community well-being.
