The estimated projection from the 2011 Census of the population of Cambridgeshire for the 2013/2014 local government finance settlement is 635,923. More detail is available here.

The government is committed to introducing an improved and updated approach to funding local authorities, including Fire and Rescue Authorities, from 2026-27.
