Navigating the Tees Valley Joint Strategy Unit: Challenges and Strategies for Household Projections
This document explores the Tees Valley Joint Strategy Unit’s approach to housing population projections, detailing past models such as the FORTRAN model from the 1970s and the 2005 POP House Lab Group. It assesses the challenges of accurately modeling household population changes due to factors like migration and net house builds. The text evaluates various options to enhance household population tracking, including adjustments to migration rates and household representative rates. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of thorough understanding and manipulation of these models to achieve better projections.

Introduction • JSU’s Previous Model • Aims • Reality • Nature of the Challenge • Solutions & Problems • Conclusion
HISTORY • FORTRAN Model from the 1970s • Cohort Component, Housing Led • Transfer to PC Version in late 1996 • Added Darlington 1997 • POP HOUSE LAB GROUP Late 2005
AIMS • Run modles in parallel to check • Use POP, House, LAB Group • Replace and enhance existing information • Sit back and relax
Reality • Purchased December 2005 • POPGroup - sorted • HouseGroup - not got there yet • LabGroup – not even looked at
The Challenge • Mid 2001 Resident Pop Household Pop Household Representative Rates (HRR) Households
2001 to 2003 • Net Change in Households vs Net Build
2003 • Households beginning to diverge
2003 - 2006 • Net Change in Households vs Net Build
2006 • Households beginning to diverge
2021 • Long term variation
DCLG Model • Uses long term trends from 1971 • Doesn’t reflect local changes in build or economic environment • Need for alternative
Replicating “OLD” Model • Migration for Tees Valley determined by Trends • District Migration determined by Net House Build with trends in mind & Age Profile • Net House Build & Migrant Age profile determines Household Population • Use HRR to squeeze Household Population into estimated Target Households.
HOUSEHOLDS POPULATION MIGRATION
Household Targetting - Options • Use POPGROUP - Alter Migration rates to alter Total Pop, hence HHld Pop • Use POPGROUP - Use Dwelling Change option in HHDWELL • Use HOUSEGROUP - Alter Household Representative Rates to give Number of Households (INRATES) • Use HOUSEGROUP to alter the Household Population (POPHH & HHPop_forecast)
Option 1 – POPGROUPMigration rates • Along with a basic HOUSEGROUP run • Hard to control to hit target Households • Uses DCLG rates which doesn’t help LA level projections
Option 2 – POPGROUP HHDWELL • Needs HOUSEGroup to be set up beforehand • Input your Dwelling Change and Migration is adjusted after comparing with DCLG Households But… Lose control over Migration
Option 3 – HOUSEGROUPINRATES • IN_RATES - Set up calculation to target Households but …. • Concealed Households • Couldn’t resolve different figures…ongoing • Most potential
Option 4 – HOUSEGROUPPOPHH & HHPop_forecast • Not sure if or how this would work – probably not
CONCLUSION • Altering Household Rep Rates shows most potential • Reading the manual helps • Course on Manipulating Household projections? • Anyone already there, please let me know!
