The aging population of West Lothian is a significant concern, with the area experiencing a shift towards an older demographic.
As of 2024, the population is approximately 186,440, with a notable increase from 184,270 in 2023.
The 45 to 64 age group is the largest, with 52,040 individuals, while the 75 and over age group is the smallest, with 15,066 individuals.
The dependency ratio is currently around 56%, indicating a growing proportion of the population over the age of 65, which is expected to rise significantly in the coming years.
Projections suggest that the population could reach 200,000 by 2032, with a substantial increase in the retired population and those aged 75 or over.
