The population of Accrington ?
 

Someone asked me today what the population of Accrington was, and I didn't have a clue... Wouldn't even like to hazard a guess... Can anyone let us know what it is please?

Re: The population of Accrington ?
 

About 57,000. I aint got a clue, where that figure came from but its in my head so thats my guess.

Re: The population of Accrington ?
 

see this site http://www.thisislancashire.co.uk/la...nfo/guide.html it says 32,746
3000 in 1801 ! http://www.2hwy.com/eg/a/accringt.htm

Re: The population of Accrington ?
 

Is that Accy or does it count Clayton, Gt Harad, Ossy etc...?

Re: The population of Accrington ?
 

It's about 40.000....chuck in Church and Ossy & the rest of Hyndburn and it's 80,000 (thats the legal figure)

Re: The population of Accrington ?
 

If you follow the first link the population of 32,746 is for Accy, Hyndburn has a population of 76,000

Well you're closest by my reckoning, Tealeaf. Going off Government statistics from the 2001 Census it was 81,496 in Hyndburn then.

Reading the Link quoted above (thisislancashire) I'm just wondering if they have excluded the populations of Altham, Huncoat & Baxenden, which appear as seperate entities....that would expain the difference for Accrington between the 32,000 and 40,000 (my guess)..anyway, about 80,000 total is close. The total population of Hyndburn (or it's historic equivalent) has harldly changed in the last 90 years, while the population of the country as a whole has increased by over 50%.

Wonder if they added anything for illegal immigrants! there must be quite a few around here

Re: The population of Accrington ?
 

Stick 30% on top of the official figures & you'll be close.

I think it's gone up a bit in the last 15 years or so. I remember when I was at school we learnt that the population of Accy was around 28.0000. They may have misled us of course, but if not, that could mean the area is prospering and people from outside are coming in. I think in the 1800s the population was around 40.000 and it dropped as mills began to close.
