Some interesting info
about Liverpool. As with other major British cities, Liverpool
has a large and diverse population. At the 2001 UK Census
the recorded population of Liverpool was 441,900, while a
mid-2008 estimate by the Office for National Statistics had
the city's population as 434,900. Liverpool's population
peaked in 1930s with 846,101 recorded in the 1931 census.
Since then the city has experienced negative population
growth every decade, with at its peak over 100,000 people
leaving the city between 1971 and 1981. Between 2001 and
2006 it experienced the ninth largest percentage population
loss of any UK unitary authority. The "Liverpool city
region", as defined by the Mersey Partnership, includes
Wirral, Warrington, Flintshire, Chester and other areas, and
has a population of around 2 million.
In common with many cities, Liverpool's population is
younger than that of England as a whole, with 42.3 per cent
of its population under the age of 30, compared to an
English average of 37.4 per cent. 65.1 per cent of the
population is of working age.
Liverpool has been described as having "the most splendid
setting of any English city."At 176 miles (283 km) northwest
of London, the city of Liverpool is built across a ridge of
sandstone hills rising up to a height of around 230 feet (70
m) above sea-level at Everton Hill, which represents the
southern boundary of the West Lancashire Coastal Plain.
Liverpool Urban Area runs directly into Bootle, Crosby and
Maghull in south Sefton to the north, and Kirkby, Huyton,
Prescot and Halewood in Knowsley to the east. It faces
Wallasey and Birkenhead across the River Mersey to the west.
For local elections the city
is split into 30 local council wards, which in alphabetical
order are:
Allerton and Hunts Cross, Anfield, Belle Vale, Central,
Childwall, Church, Clubmoor, County, Cressington, Croxteth,
Everton, Fazakerley, Greenbank, Kensington, Kirkdale, Knotty
