Apparently, around 5% of the population of East Lancashire is employed in some creative means - the definition includes web designers, film and media industries as well as freelance artists, actors, workshop tutors, etc - so it's a really broad definition.

What it means is that around about 26,000 people (I got rough population figures off the Lancashire County Council website) are earning their livings through being creative. For Hyndburn that means around about 4,000 people if my calculations are ok.
