NUH imprecision
Population growth over 30 years to be 3.8% according to NUH - No. 4.1 here
NUH is unclear as to the population of the county.
Herefordshire can be characterised as one of the UK’s most under-invested, forgotten counties. With only 184,000 inhabitants, the population is sparsely spread across the county; and there is no dynamic ‘pull’ – nor even a motorway link – to the outside world. Herefordshire underperforms against many key metrics, whilst its demographic profile places a significantly higher than average pressure on systems of support.

The New University – a Vision for Next Generation Higher Education
Herefordshire could be characterized as one of the UK’s forgotten counties. With only 182,000 residents, it regularly features at the bottom of UK lists: lowest funded schools; lowest national financing; least connected digitally. As such, the county hardly seems a likely setting for potentially one of the most radical provisions in next generation higher education.
