How this figure was worked out
Worse: house prices +12.8% (June 2025 to June 2026). No change available: recorded crime (The data.police.uk street-level archive covers England and Wales. Police Scotland does not supply it, and Northern Ireland is published separately by the PSNI. ); private rents (ONS publishes private rents by local authority for England and Wales. Scotland is published for broad rental market areas and Northern Ireland for the country as a whole, so neither has a council-level figure here. ); median full-time pay (ASHE covers Great Britain by local authority. Northern Ireland earnings are published separately by NISRA. ); Band D council tax (MHCLG publishes Band D levels for English billing authorities. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland set council tax and rates under their own governments and publish separately. ).
Arithmetic on published figures. Nothing is weighted, smoothed or modelled, so the sum can be checked by hand.

Population change, year by year
The same decomposition for every published year in Newry, Mourne and Down: births and deaths, net moves within the UK, net international migration, and the ONS’s balancing item.
| Year | Births | Deaths | Moves within UK (net) | International (net) | Other | Total change |

Years to mid-2024 are the ONS’s rebased back series, made consistent with Census 2021 — its figures deliberately differ from the estimates published at the time. Every cell is a published figure; the total is the sum of net moves, natural change and other, which is our addition. A dash is a year the source does not publish for this area, never a zero.
Rates per 1,000 residents
The same population flows, adjusted for Newry, Mourne and Down’s size, so they can be compared with any other area’s: each year’s flow divided by the population that mid-year, times 1,000.
| Per 1,000 residents | Year to mid-2012 | Year to mid-2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Births | 14.7 | 11.3 |
| Deaths | 7.1 | 8.8 |
| Moved here from abroad | 6.1 | 6.3 |
| Left for abroad | 4.6 | 6.3 |
| International migration, net | 1.5 | 0.0 |
| Moves within the UK, net | -0.4 | -1.8 |
A Civometry calculation, not a published figure: ONS publishes these flows and the population, but not the rates. Net rates are signed — below zero means more left than arrived. Rates are crude, not age-standardised, so areas with very different age structures still differ for reasons size cannot remove. Each link shows the full recipe and every year.
