Stirling_Council_Midyear_Population_Estimates

Population estimates are based on the 2022 Census and were updated by taking account of births, deaths and migration up to 30 June 2024. 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 information from the International Passenger Survey (IPS). British nationals: The 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 disaggregate migration estimates to council areas. 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 the prisoner population in Scotland is obtained from Justice Analytical Services in the Scottish Government. Data collection occurred throughout the mid-year to mid-year period: Prisoner data – March 2025; Births and deaths – August 2025; Armed Forces – April 2025. The international migration data was finalised in May 2025.人口估算以2022年人口普查为基础，并结合截至2024年6月30日的出生、死亡及移民数据完成更新。出生与死亡人数数据来源于民事登记系统。最新的国际移民估算针对不同国籍群体采用差异化数据源与分析方法：非欧盟籍公民：估算基于英国内政部边境与移民局（Home Office Borders and Immigration）的数据，该数据集整合了签证与旅行信息，用于关联个人的出入境行程轨迹。欧盟籍公民：估算主要依托登记与人口交互数据库（Registration and Population Interaction Database, RAPID）的行政数据开展，并结合国际旅客调查（International Passenger Survey, IPS）的信息进行部分调整。英国籍公民：国际旅客调查（IPS）为核心信息来源，结合2022年人口普查中英国护照持有者的年龄与性别分布数据，将移民估算结果细分至各地方议会辖区。英国国内移民数据基于英国国民保健服务中央登记册（National Health Service Central Register, NHSCR）与社区健康指数（Community Health Index, CHI）生成。武装部队相关数据来源于2022年人口普查与英国国防部（Ministry of Defence）。苏格兰地区在押人员人数数据取自苏格兰政府司法分析服务部门。数据采集覆盖年中至年中统计周期：在押人员数据采集截止至2025年3月，出生与死亡数据采集截止至2025年8月，武装部队数据采集截止至2025年4月。国际移民数据已于2025年5月完成最终定稿。
