Retrospective revisions: UK population figures are often revised retrospectively over a period of several years - for example, those for mid-1995 to mid-2003 were 'smoothed' following the April 2001 Census. Migration figures for 1997-2005 were revised in the ONS Release of 2006 migration figures. Some figures may not correspond because of rounding or different statistical measuring methods. See also ONS Why is the UK population growing?
Sources: Natural increase (births minus deaths)
from: Releases and Health Statistics Quarterly, ONS; General
Register for Scotland, Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency
(N.I. births are defined as live births to resident mothers).
Other sources: Population figures from mid-1995 to mid-2003 from Table 1.6, p58,
Population Trends 121, ONS, Autumn 2005.
The latest (Mid-2006 based) UK Principal Population Projection was
published by the
Government Actuary's Department
on 23 October 2007. Some births and deaths occur within the
UK to people not 'usually resident' in the UK.
Births have exceeded deaths in every year since 1901 except 1976.
Illegal immigration cannot be fully counted.
UK Population Millions 1971-1995 are taken from ONS figures,
Table D6900, Population
Trends 112.
Census figures
for the early 19th century are estimates,
since registration of births in England and Wales did not begin until 1837.
1Migration figures were revised upwards by the Office of National
Statistics in June 2003. Official (November 2002) population
projections by the Government Actuary's Department were based on continued net
inward migration of 100,000 a year, a figure now acknowledged to be a significant
underestimate. GAD's mid-2006 based principal projection (October 2007)
assumes a net inward flow of 190,000. ONS Revised net immigration figures include
asylum seekers but do not include illegal immigrants.
For further details see Office of National Statistics.
2 These (retrospectively) revised population estimates were
published on 9 September 2004
(for mid-2001 and mid-2002) and 7 October 2004
(for mid-1992 to mid-2000), following the local
authority population studies which followed the Census in 2001.
These revisions replace all earlier versions.
5
Census results - the Census 1801 figure
excludes Northern Ireland. The figure for 1750 is an estimate, for
England and Wales only. The United Kingdom incorporates Great Britain (England, Wales
and Scotland) and Northern Ireland. Statistics for constituent parts of the UK
are available from the Office of National Statistics.
