Age Demographics
Lewisham councils are currently discussing projected population growth and age demographic shifts based on new ONS data.
Lewisham is projected to experience significant population growth and shifts in age demographics by 2030, according to an update presented at the Health and Wellbeing Board meeting in July 2025. This update, part of the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA), highlighted key trends that will shape the borough's health and wellbeing strategies in the coming years.
The JSNA update for July 2025 incorporated the Office for National Statistics' (ONS) first population projections since the 2021 Census, which were released in June 2025. The "Picture of Lewisham", a bi-annual overall population profile, was partially refreshed to include these new projections.
