Understanding Havering’s Evolving Community

Demographic Landscape

Havering’s population of over 262,000 residents presents distinct healthcare challenges and opportunities:

• Aging Population: 17.6% of residents are aged 65+, with projections indicating a 36% increase in those aged 85+ by 20361. This drives demand for dementia care, mobility support, and chronic disease management.
• Growing Diversity: While still London’s least diverse borough, Havering’s White British population decreased from 83% to 66% between 2011–20211, necessitating culturally sensitive care for South Asian communities in Elm Park and Hornchurch.
• Family Dynamics: 56% of households contain 1–2 people6, often older adults or individuals requiring long-term condition management, alongside a 15.2% rise in under-18s since 20116.

These trends inform our partnerships with Havering Council and NHS teams to deliver targeted interventions.
