This population was essentially urban (96% by census definition) and growing rapidly.

This is the main population driver of the region.<\/p><p>A population projection to 2010 was undertaken, using low, medium and high growth scenarios as indicated below and allowing for differential growth rates between different areas. (Average annual growth rates are low 4.5%, medium 6.5% and high 8.5%). The medium growth scenario results in a total population of the CWCBR of over 430 000 by 2010.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><\/figure><h3>Characteristics of the population<\/h3><p>The population of the CWCBR is diverse, with large differences in characteristics between areas and population groups.<\/p><h4>The main socioeconomic characteristics of the population<\/h4><p>Over 60% of the CWCBR population is younger than 35 years of age.\u2022 The average household size in the CWCBR is 3.65, with a range from 2.7 in Milnerton to 6.3 in Malmesbury.<\/p><p>There are enormous disparities in individual income, from R900 per month in Witsand to almost R12400 per month in Melkbosstrand, as indicated in figure 7.
