General Characteristics:

	Decreasing Population,
	Ratio of number of males per 100 females in the population (Sex ratio) is 94 for the total population; sex ratio for below 55-year age groups is 108,
	Ratio of persons in the “dependent” ages (under age 15 and over age 64) to those in the “economically productive” ages (15-64 years) in the population is 84 to 100,
	Child-woman ratio (number of children under age 5 per 1,000 women of childbearing age in a given year) is 250 per 1000 women,
	Population growth from 1996 to 2001 was negative(-2.3%),
	Negative population growth is likely to continue as a result of a substantial decline of the working population and out migration in the next decades,
	Population in Treherne is decreasing more rapidly than in Notre Dame De Lourdes and in Roseisle. In fact during the last census period, no population changes were reported in Roseisle and Notre Dame De Lourdes,
	If current trends continue, the population of the area will decline to approximately 1425 person in the year 2021.
