History of Dunstall

Population

The population of Dunstall has fluctuated in the past, but not very dramatically.In 1801 it was reported that the population was 177, in 1817 it was 157, in 1821 it was 184 and in 1831 it was 204 showing that the population has always fluctuated in this once registered township. In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson described Dunstall as "a town-ship chapelry" with a population of just 240 residents living in 51 houses however while the population has decreased the number of houses has gradually increased with 1950 seeing more than 90 houses and the 2001 census reporting a population of 215. Of the population of 215 reported in 2001, 37 are aged between 0 and 15, 19 are aged between 16 and 24, 51 are aged between 25 and 44 and the largest age group within the population of Dunstall is 45 to 64 with 71 people fitting between this age bracket and just 29 are aged 65 and over. Therefore, the dependant population is smaller than the economically active population, showing Dunstall doesn't have a large problem with an ageing population unlike the majority of other places within the United Kingdom.
