peak in 1960, with a total population of 5,127. After this point, the population has steadily declined, with the total population (from the 2011 Census), to be recorded at 4,851. According to the 2011 Census, the most dominant age sector was the 45 - 59 year olds, accounting for a quarter of the population in
Darenth. The biggest population increase in Darenth has occurred in the 30 - 44 year old age sector, going from 325 people (according to the 2001 Census), to 1031 people, merely 10 years later. This also correlates with the population graph as there is a steady increase from 2001 to 2011. Over the 10-year period (2001 - 2011) Darenth has encountered a slight decrease in young dependants, with a decline of 9%, thus fewer people are having babies. The decline in young dependants and the increase in the economically active, has changed Darenth's demography, resulting in a population imbalance between the youth, the elderly and the economically active.
448:. Today, all occupations revolve around a tertiary and quaternary sector, with a dominance within Professional, Administrative and Secretarial occupations. The most dominant group is Professional occupations, with a total of 381 people employed in this sector, making up 16% of Darenth's occupation structure in 2011. The least common occupation revolves around the secondary sector, with 194 employed within plant, process and machine operatives. The occupation structure no longer revolves around a primary sector, this is because people are educated and thus have a higher skill set that is required for primary jobs. As a result of this, the occupation structure has shifted to secondary, tertiary and quaternary sectors, obviously, there are more opportunities in Darenth which people have taken advantage of, thus enabling a more service-based community.

low-skilled and manual labour, this is also a reflection of the area it is in. Occupation structure is limited within the female community, often, females did not have paid work or the work was informal, thus explaining the 344 women whose occupation was either unknown or unemployed. The largest formal work undertaken by females was within domestic services, employing 115 women. Domestic services were most common within the female occupation structure, because jobs which females were allowed to do were limited, and as a result of this, domestic services were found to be the easiest within the female population because females were taught domestic skills form a young age.
