How much has immigration grown YOUR town? Use our interactive tool to discover how local populations have changed across the UK

Migration broke the population of England by 69.3 million records and more than one million figures – more than 12 months increased more than three million.

New figures from the National Statistics Office (Ones) showed that the population of England in the middle of 2024 increased from 68.5 million to 755.254 (1.1 percent) in the middle of 2023.

This has been the second largest annual increase since the late 1940s and from the mid -2022 mid -2022 to the middle of the last 12 months.

The jump was almost completely directed by international migration, natural change – more birth than deaths – only responsible for a small rate.

The latest figures are estimated to have grown by the UK population between June 2022 and June 2024: the largest two -year jump since the start of the current records.

However, the growth rate of the last 12 -month period was not consistent in the UK.

In the UK, June 2024 (1,2 percent) than Scotland (0.7 percent), Wales (0.6 percent) or Northern Ireland (0.4 percent) was faster.

Both Wales and Scotland have seen negative natural change in this period – more deaths than births.

Ones, net international migration – the difference between people who have moved and separated to the country – Britain has contributed the most to population growth in all four countries.

Approximately 1,235,254 people migrated to England in June 2024 in 12 months, while 496,536 was likely to emigrate, that is, net migration was 738,718.

This made up 98 percent of England’s total increase in the population during this period.

In the UK, local authorities, which have the largest percentage of the population, have very small populations of London (11.1 percent) and SSilay Isles (decrease 2.8 percent), which means that they have outdoor consequences.

The next biggest increase in the UK was Oadby & Wigston (3.1 percent) in Leicestershire, then Lancashire (2,9 percent) and Barking & Dagenham (2.8 percent) in London.

Kensington and Chelsea in London had the next biggest decline in the UK (1.4 percent decrease), followed by London’s Lambeth districts (0.6 percent decrease) and Westminster (0.3 percent).

Glasgow had the greatest increase in the mid -2024, the largest increase in Newport’s Wales (1.7 percent) and Derry City & Strane had the largest increase in North Ireland (1 percent).

The largest decreases in these three countries were Argyll & Bute (0.3 percent drop), Angley Island (0.2 percent drop) and Newry, Morne & Down (0.2 percent drop).

Nigel Henretty from Ones said: ‘The British population has increased since the middle of 19982 every year.

‘Net international migration continues to be the main driving force of this growth and continues the long -term tendency since the beginning of the century.

‘The population growth rate has been higher in recent years and the increase seen from the middle of the year to the middle of the year has been represented the second largest increase in numerical terms for more than 75 years.’

In addition to the new population figures for 2024, Ones has reviewed its 2011 predictions in accordance with the latest migration data.

They show that the Population of the United Kingdom grew 4.7 million from the middle of 2014 to the middle of 2024 in a decade.

This is a growth rate of 7.8 percent, which was 7.8 percent between 2004-2014.

However, growth was higher than the second half of the 20th century in the 21st century.

The population of England stopped in 50.3 million in 1949 and reached 55 million (in 1968) 19 years and reached 60 million (2005) for 37 years.

Then it took only 10 years to rise from 60 million to 65 million (2015).
