Numbers of births and deaths are obtained from the civil registration system. The latest international migration estimates use different data
sources and methods for each nationality grouping:
  • Non-EU nationals: Estimates are based on the Home Office Borders and Immigration data, which combine visa and travel information, to link an individual's travel movements into and out of the country.
  • EU nationals: Estimates are largely based on administrative data using the Registration and Population Interaction Database (RAPID). Some adjustments are made using the International Passenger Survey (IPS).
  • British nationals: The International Passenger Survey (IPS) is the main source of information. This is combined with 2022 Census data on the age and sex distribution of British passport holders to obtain council area level disaggregation.
  • Migration within the UK is based on the National Health Service Central Register (NHSCR) and the Community Health Index (CHI).
  • Armed forces data comes from the 2022 Census and from the Ministry of Defence.
  • Data on prisoners based in Scotland is obtained from Justice Analytical Services in the Scottish Government.
