Sheffield’s population began expanding rapidly from 513,390 residents in 2001 to 595,280 as of 2022. The population is expected to continue this growth trend, reaching 617,650 by 2035, a 20% increase since 2001. Construction activity in Sheffield has struggled to keep pace with the demand driven by this high level of population growth. Between 2011 and 2020, only 7,600 units were added to the housing stock, which amounted to 38,877 units as of 2021.
With an average of 760 dwellings added per annum over the last 10 years, the council’s current supply and demand target of 2,222 units per annum up to 2039 appears highly ambitious. Realistically, an undersupply of at least 14,114 housing units is expected by 2032, representing a 22% shortage of the housing requirement.
