"Esbjerg – Close Up" puts Esbjerg City under the magnifying glass. This is a new type of analysis which generates new know-ledge about central issues affecting growth and settlement in towns and cities in the Region of Southern Denmark on a highly detailed geographical level. Knowledge at district level provides a better basis for urban and municipal planning.

With a degree of detail of 100 x 100 m, the publication shows the distribution of population growth, level of education, level of in-come, average age and average household sizes in Esbjerg City. In addition, it quantifies the situation in the different districts of Esbjerg.

"Esbjerg – Close Up" builds on the urban audit of Southern Den-mark, and the Regional Development Plan 2012–15 continues the knowledge building about our towns and cities.

EsbjErg — ClosE UpEsbjerg City is made up of a number of districts and neighbourhoods, inhabited by people with dif-ferent resources and living conditions. This can be seen in the differences in the levels of income and education, age structure and in the size of house-holds, among other things. In addition, population growth is higher in some districts than in others.

This is common knowledge, but by using highly detailed geographical analyses, we are now able to document, quantify and chart these differences.

The maps on pages 4 to 17 reveal patterns which show both the diversity of Esbjerg and the fact that it is a city on the move. The maps show some districts to be closely interconnected, while oth-ers are more like "islands" in the urban landscape. Some parts of the city are also shown to be homo-geneous, while others consist of several different population groups.

Broadly speaking, the maps show that:

The population is undergoing particular growth in several of the outer parts of Esbjerg, and also in parts of the city centre.

There is a higher concentration of highly educated people in urban areas close to the water and in a band stretching from the city centre to Gjesing.

People with vocational upper secondary and tertiary education or short-cycle tertiary educa-tion typically settle in a wide ring around the city centre, from Tjæreborg in the southeast to Hjerting in the northwest.

The average age is lowest in the city centre and in the outer parts of Esbjerg, and highest in the west of the city centre and up along the coast, north-west of the city centre.

Household sizes are typically small in the city centre where many young and elderly people live, increasing in size the further away from the city centre you come.

There are no clear geographical patterns when it comes to household income. High and low-income households are scattered throughout many dis-tricts and urban areas of Esbjerg.

EsbjErg — distriCtsIn this section, we take a close look at the different districts of Esbjerg, their population growth, levels of education and income, age structure and house-hold sizes.

Figures are not shown for each individual district. As the map below shows, some of the districts merge.

Among other things, the figures show that: Guldager Kirkeby, Guldager Stationsby, Tarp and Bryndum to-gether experienced the highest population growth from 2007 to 2012. This is a rate of more than 16%. New urban development is concentrated in these areas.

The average household income in Hjerting is more than twice as high as in the southern part of Kvag-lund (Kvaglund, Stengårdsvej).

Almost a third of the 25–64-year-olds in Gl. Gjesing and Hjerting have completed a medium or long-cycle tertiary education.

Two out of three 25–64-year-olds in the southern part of Kvaglund (Kvaglund, Stengårdsvej) are wit-hout a vocational upper secondary and tertiary education.

In several districts in the outer part of Esbjerg, more than one in four people are aged between 0 and 16.

In several areas of the city centre and in the southern part of Kvaglund (Kvaglund, Stengårdsvej), more than one in six residents are young people (aged 17–25).

In Hjerting, Gl. Sædding/Fovrfeld, Gl. Gjesing, Kvag-lund Villaområde, Jerne and Tjæreborg, more than one in five residents are aged 64+.

In Guldager Kirkeby, Guldager Stationsby, Tarp and Bryndum, there are on average 2.7 people per house-hold. In Strandby, Vesterbyen, Boldesager and the city centre, the average household size is just 1.6 people.

THE GOOD LIFE as an engine of growth

Regional Development Plan 2012-15


southwestern jutland covers a large, highly varied area with large towns, small towns and rural areas. It has a motorway network and main roads. The demographics and business conditions vary.

If we are to meet challenges, formulate strategies for the area and generate long and short-term development, knowledge of the status quo and de-velopment trends is essential. This report has been prepared with this in mind.

The report contains an analysis of the demography of Esbjerg City on a highly detailed geographical level. The analysis is part of Initiative 10 in "Area Initiative Southwestern Jutland" under the Regional Development Plan. The initiative involves urban roles and urban functions.

The report has been prepared jointly by Esbjerg Municipality and the Region of Southern Denmark.

for further information, please visit:detgodeliv.regionsyddanmark.dk

The theme of the Regional Development Plan in Southern Denmark is ”Det Gode Liv som vækstskaber” (The Good Life as a growth generator.
