The population is evenly split by gender. Females account for 50.7% of borough population, males 49.3%.
Up to the age of 20, there are more males than females; over the age of 55, there are more females than males, with nearly twice as many females over the age of 80 as males.
There are more under-20's than over-60's in the borough but, as with many of the boroughs in Surrey, there is a particularly a low proportion of 20 to 24 year olds.
Although the age structure in the borough is broadly similar to the national picture, we have more children under 15 and fewer 15 to 29 year olds.
