Over time

Population over time

2001 to 2025

Ards and North Down · people

The population rose from 149,559 to 165,407 between 2001 and 2025.

2024 to 2025: 8 less people (0% lower).

This counts the whole council area. Growth alone does not establish overcrowding or a shortfall in services.

Data table and workings

All ages, both sexes, usual residents. Source series rebased to the 2021/2022 censuses; latest revisions replace older estimates.

These estimates cover the whole authority, including any surrounding towns and countryside.

Historical boundaries/revisions follow the source series; null years are not zero.

Average home price over time

January 2005 to July 2026

Ards and North Down · Cash prices, before allowing for inflation

Average home prices rose from £124,000 to £227,000 between January 2005 and July 2026.

July 2025 to July 2026: £4,000 more per home (2% higher).

Cash prices, before allowing for inflation. Changes do not show affordability without local earnings and household circumstances.

Data table and workings

Published UK House Price Index average price, all property types and all buyers, not seasonally adjusted. Entire series comes from the 2026-07 official full-file release, preserving its historical revisions and exact area codes. It is a mix-adjusted average, not the median price paid.

Prices are in pounds at the time, not adjusted for inflation.

Whole local authority area; not a typical home listing or the budget needed by a first-time buyer.

Provisional estimates can be revised. Historical boundaries follow the exact published source code; no old-code series has been relabelled.

Northern Ireland uses quarterly house-price observations repeated across months; repeated months are not new transactions.
