The population of England and Wales has hit a historic high of 59,597,300, according to the first results from the 2021 census.
The count was based on questionnaires filled out by households on Sunday 21 March 2021 and is an 6.3% increase on the 2011 figure of 56,075,912 – an extra 3.5 million people.
It means the wider UK population is almost 67 million, once census results published last month for Northern Ireland, showing a population of 1.9 million, and the latest estimate for Scotland, of 5.47 million, are added in. The total is on course to break the 70 million mark in the next five years, but population growth has decreased slightly over the last decade.
The last UK population estimate made by the Office for National Statistics was 67.1 million in mid-2020. There are 1.4 million more households than in 2011.
The snapshot of the England and Wales population was unveiled at St Alban’s CE primary school in Havant after pupils won a competition involving “counting things”.
It showed once more increased ageing of the population. In 2011, 9.2 million residents were 65 and over, an increase of almost 1 million from 2001 with 8.3 million. In 2021, the figure rose again to 11.1 million – more than a sixth of the total. The population aged over 90 broke through the half a million mark, rising to 527,900 people.
Under-15s make up a declining proportion of the population, and at 10.4 million have been overtaken in numbers by the over-65s in the last decade.
The overall figures mean the UK remains the third largest country in Europe behind Germany, which had 83.2 million people on 1 January 2021, and France, which at the same date had 67.7 million people, according to Eurostat.
