Notes

  • The usually resident population at the 30th of June, unrounded. The councils add up to their region or nation, the districts to their county, the regions to England and the nations to the UK, exactly.
  • The ONS's mid-2025 tables still give Barnsley and Sheffield under the codes they had before part of Barnsley moved into Sheffield on the 1st of April 2025 (E08000016 and E08000019), so their figures are for the areas before that change and are shown under those codes, as the ONS gives them.
  • The ONS revises earlier years when new evidence arrives: its 2026 release revised mid-2022 to mid-2024.
