East Anglia (sometimes known as the East of England) consists of the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. Essex is sometimes included but is more traditionally considered one of the Home Counties.
The East of England’s economy is largely rural, but there is a concentration of hi-tech companies in Cambridgeshire, sometimes referred to as ‘silicon fen’. The coast around Felixstowe and Harwich is also home to a number of logistics and transport companies. Tourism plays a large part in the regional economy, with tourists flocking to centres such as Cambridge and Great Yarmouth, while the Broads are a magnet for boating holidays.
As of the 2001 census there were 217,526 people aged over 70 living in East Anglia, approximately 10.7% of the total population. Within the region there are 705 residential care and nursing care homes providing services for older people and people with learning disabilities.
