Population Estimates Time Series Data

Last Updated: 8 October 2024

This time series section provides access to the latest time series, taking into account any revisions or corrections over the years.

Time series data are currently available for the years up to mid-2023. Data from mid-2011 to mid-2021 has been revised following Scotland’s Census 2022.

Note: The time series reflect a revision to the mid-2022 population estimates (published on 8 October 2024) which saw the estimated population of Scotland decrease by 700 people or 0.01% from the figure published on 26 March 2024. The rebased population estimates for mid-2011 to mid-2021 will be updated to account for this in due course.
