Thursby - Demographics

Demographics

Thursby has a population of 1185.

Over the last 150 years, Thursby’s population has clearly aged. However, mortality decline in the late 19th century was mainly due to the reduction of very high infant mortality rates. During the twentieth century, declining fertility and improved life expectancy in later life significantly changed age structures. The presence or absence of large numbers of infants dying before their first birthday had little effect on overall age structures.
