Population

Welcome to the Southampton City Council population pages.

The links below give four different population estimates and give an explanation of which situation each one would be most useful in:

Census 2011: details of the 2011 Census on the demography and characteristics of the residents of Southampton.

Mid Year Population Estimates: These estimates are produced by the Office for National Statistics and provide comparable statistics across the whole country for a single year. The current estimate is for 2011.

Subnational Population Projections: These projections run from 2011 to 2021 and are produced by the Office for National statistics for the whole country.

Small Area Population Statistics: These estimates are produced by Hampshire County Council and run from 2010 to 2017 and are based on local conditions and housing stock.

Long term population projections: These projections are produced by Hampshire County Council and run from 2001 to 2026. This data is a 'what if' based on local information and conditions.

Births, deaths and migration: Hampshire County Council has produced a series of reports on birth and death trends across the county and have also a produced a report on recent trends in international in-migration into Hampshire.
