Notes

  • The usually resident population at the 30th of June, unrounded. The regions add up to England and the four nations to the UK exactly; the chart leaves England and the UK to the table, since they would dwarf every region.
  • The ONS revises earlier years when new evidence arrives: its 2026 release revised mid-2022 to mid-2024.
