Population of St Ives by 1961: 4,082
|
Throughout the 1950s there was a
rise in the numbers of dwellings and households reflecting the rise in
population. The working population remained lower than the number of
available jobs, resulting in a low level of commuting and little need
for a car. St ives indicated better living conditions amongst its
population since 1951 as the number of people per room decreased.
Population growth resulted in infrastructure improvements, residential
development and increased recreational services.
