Population · ONS · One year: mid-2024 to mid-2025

All residents by local authority, ranked

Every area with a published figure, in order of population change, per cent, highest first, because this layer states that higher is better. Equal figures share a rank and are printed as ties; the order within a tie is alphabetical and means nothing.

How this ranking is made

Population change, per cent: (later published estimate − earlier published estimate) ÷ earlier estimate × 100.. Resident population by local authority from the mid-year estimates of the ONS, National Records of Scotland and NISRA, and the change between two published years.

Source: National Records of Scotland: Mid-year population estimates time series · NISRA mid-year estimates (mid-2024 edition); NRS mid-year estimates time series (mid-2025 edition); ONS mid-year estimates, mid-2025 edition (2023 boundaries). Boundaries: 2025-05 BGC v2 LAD_MAY_2025_UK_BGC_V2. Percentiles are calculated across the whole UK, so they do not change when the table is filtered to one nation. A ranking compares areas of very different sizes and populations; the figure is the publisher’s own, and its rank is Civometry’s ordering of those published figures.

Rugby has the highest population change, per cent of 296 England local authorities with a published figure, at +2.4% (One year: mid-2024 to mid-2025). Source: National Records of Scotland: Mid-year population estimates time series.
