What other subscribers love Our population is changing, and so is the way we are measuring it The population of England and Wales continues to grow. Although increasing at a similar rate to the previous 12 months, the year to mid-2023 saw the largest annual increase in at least 75 years, growing by almost 610,000 to 60.9m. Mary Gregory explains what is driving population growth and the progress the Office for National Statistics is making to continually improve our population estimates so they best meet user needs. |
