The movement of people away from rural areas in the early 19th century was due to technical advances and socio-economic changes leading to urban areas becoming more densely populated. The technical advances meant that fewer people were needed in the agricultural industry, this allowed people to move into towns and cities and began to work for the labour industry.〔 Therefore, this continuous decrease in population results in an overall net decrease from 1801 to 2011. Neighbourhood statistics shows that from 2001 and 2011 there has been an overall decrease in population from 530 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadTableView.do?a=7&b=11122084&c=Clifford&d=16&e=15&g=6385874&i=1001x1003x1032x1004&m=0&r=1&s=1427297575992&enc=1&dsFamilyId=276 )〕 to 511 people.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadKeyFigures.do?a=7&b=11122084&c=Clifford&d=16&e=62&g=6385874&i=1001x1003x1032x1004&m=0&r=1&s=1427297255258&enc=1 )〕 Although statistics show that there has been an increase in the ageing population from 287 people aged over 45 in 2001 〔 to 296 people aged over 45 in 2011.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clifford, Herefordshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
