Profile of Kent residents by gender

On the whole there are more female residents in Kent than male residents.  However, boys outnumber girls (up to the age of 24), but women outnumber men for all ages thereafter.  The annual mid-year population estimates provide the latest estimate of males and females by age and gender in each Kent district and the county as a whole.

The socio-economic characteristics of men and women vary.  The 2001 Census profile on gender outlines the differences.

The 2001 Census provides the most comprehensive picture of gender differences.  However, there are some data sets which provide a more recent outline of gender differences for specific indicators, for example life expectancy.

There are currently no data sources which provide information on the number of transgender residents in Kent.
