Detailed UK migration statistics: key points

The Detailed UK Migration Statistics are a release from the 2011 Census providing information on migration into and within the UK. These tables, on the NOMIS website, provide detailed information about migrants moving into, and out of, a range of geographical areas from across the UK.

We have summarised some key points relating to Scotland.

In the census statistics on migration, and in the analysis above, a person is classified as a migrant if the address they lived at on Census Day (27 March 2011) differed from the address they lived at one year before. A (randomly selected) half of the babies aged under 1 year of migrant parent(s) were also classified as migrants.
