Some interesting info
about Edinburgh. At the United Kingdom Census 2001, Edinburgh had
a population of 448,624, a rise of 7.1% on 1991. Estimates
in 2008 placed the total resident population at 471,650
split between 227,922 males and 243,728 females. This makes
Edinburgh the second largest city in Scotland after Glasgow.
According to the European Statistical agency, Eurostat,
Edinburgh sits at the heart of a Larger Urban Zone covering
665 square miles (1,724 km2) with a population of 778,000.
The cramped tenements of the Royal Mile were once home to
most of Edinburgh's population. Edinburgh has a higher
proportion of those aged between 16 and 24 than the Scottish
average, but has a lower proportion of those classified as
elderly or pre-school. Over 95% of Edinburgh respondents
classed their ethnicity as White in 2001, with those
identifying as being Indian and Chinese at 1.6% and 0.8% of
the population respectively. In 2001, 22% of the population
were born outside Scotland with the largest group of
immigrants coming from England at 12.1%. Since the 2004
enlargement of the European Union, a large number of
migrants from the accession states such as Poland, Lithuania
and Latvia have settled in the city, with many working in
the service industry.
There is evidence of human habitation on Castle Rock from as
early as 3,000 years ago. A census conducted by the
Edinburgh presbytery in 1592 estimated a population of 8,000
scattered equally north and south of the High Street which
runs down the spine of the ridge leading from the Castle. In
the 18th and 19th Centuries, the population began to expand
rapidly, rising from 49,000 in 1751 to 136,000 in 1831
primarily due to rural out-migration. As the population
swelled, overcrowding problems in the Old Town, particularly
in the cramped tenements that lined the present day Royal
Mile and Cowgate, were exacerbated. Sanitary problems and
disease were rife.The construction of James Craig's
masterplanned New Town from 1766 onwards witnessed the
migration of the professional classes from the Old Town to
the lower density, higher quality surroundings taking shape
on land to the north. Expansion southwards from the Royal
Mile/Cowgate axis of the Old Town saw more tenements being
built in the 19th century, giving rise to present day areas
such as Marchmont, Newington and Bruntsfield.
Early 20th century population growth coincided with lower
density suburban development in areas such as Gilmerton,
Liberton and South Gyle. As the city expanded to the south
and west, detached and semi detached villas with large
gardens replaced tenements as the predominant building
style. Nonetheless, the 2001 census revealed that over 55%
of Edinburgh's population live in tenements or high rise
flats compared to the Scottish average of 33.5%.
Throughout the early to mid 20th century many new estates
were built in areas such as Craigmillar, Niddrie, Pilton,
Muirhouse, Piershill and Sighthill, linked to slum
clearances in the Old Town.
