Background

Total migration includes all migration to or from an area. For Scotland this would include moves to and from the rest of the UK and moves to and from any country outside the UK whilst for an administrative area (Council or NHS Board) it would also include moves to and from other such areas in Scotland.

Please note that methods to produce international migration estimates changed for mid-2020 and mid-2021. More information on how these migration estimates are derived can be found in the migration statistics Methodology section of this website.
