[6] 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.

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.

Data in early Census reports, often got mixed up, causing multiple issues with social status due to the confusion of people's occupation, as well as who owned certain business'.

Agriculture is the most common sector for males because it requires low-skilled and manual labour, this is also a reflection of the area it is in.

The largest formal work undertaken by females was within domestic services, employing 115 women.

The least common occupation revolves around the secondary sector, with 194 employed within plant, process and machine operatives.

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.

Darenth is served by Go-Coach routes C1 and C3, providing connections to Bluewater, Longfield and New Ash Green.
