The area's population from [[World War I]] began a steady decline as that of Outer London continued to increase. The census of 1951 showed the damage inflicted by the [[London Blitz|1940s Blitz]] as the population of Greater London switched into decline which was reversed in Outer London with house building and territory expansion whereas in Inner London continued. The war damage and early 20th century slums had physical and psychological hence property price effects and focus on New Towns and suburban development reflected a drive among urban planners for greener, less dense settlements. Inner London reached a post-War nadir, a population not seen since the early 19th century in 1981 having 2,550,100 residents, after which an upward trend ensued and Inner London residents numbered 3,231,901 in 2011 — 1,766,336 short of the 1911 peak. {| class="wikitable" |+First language of children !First language of child !1983<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Nielsen |first=JΓΈrgen S. |date=1989 |title=Muslims in English schools |url=http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02666958908716116 |journal=Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs Journal |language=en |volume=10 |issue=1 |pages=223β245 |doi=10.1080/02666958908716116 |issn=0266-6952|url-access=subscription }}</ref> !1997<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ethnic Minority Pupils and Pupils for whom English is an Additional Language 1996/97 |url=http://www.dfee.gov.uk/statistics/DB/SBU/b0050/10492e.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20000903023946/http://www.dfee.gov.uk/statistics/DB/SBU/b0050/10492e.pdf |archive-date=2000-09-03 }}</ref> |- |English |84% |66% |- |Non-English |16% |34% |}
