The GLA Demography Team produce a range of annually updated population projections at both borough and ward level for the 33 local authorities in the London region. Each round of projections includes a number of variants designed to meet various user requirements, but in general the variants form two groups:

• Trend projections – those based purely on trends in fertility, mortality and migration,
• Housing-led projections – those which incorporate a forecast housing development trajectory.

This Update is concerned with the development of the GLA trend projection model and the production of the 2016-based trend-based population projections at borough level. An update presenting the results of these projections is also available.
