The most noticeable changes in the age group demographic between the 2019 and 2021 was in the 65 years and over
age group (7.5% increase from 2019 to 2021), the 35-44 years age group (5% decrease) and the 18-34 years age group
(4.2% decrease).

Due to the low incidence of the youngest age group (18-24 age group), it has been added to the 25-34 years age group
for the analysis in this report. This low response is typical and indicates a much lower interest in local government
matters.
