Population Estimates

Population estimates for all geography types in Scotland:

  • Data Zone (2011) from 2011 to 2021
  • Intermediate Zone (2011) from 2011 to 2021
  • Council Area (2019) from 1982 to 2021
  • Health and Social Care Partnership (2019) from 1982 to 2021
  • Health Board (2019) from 1981 to 2021

All resources include Scotland figures for the relevant time period.

Population estimates are broken down by single year ages and by sex, and gives totals for both. Based on 2011 census data.

Continuity of data Mid-year estimates for 2002 to 2010 were revised to take into account results of 2011 Census. Population estimates from 1974 to 1980 are available for each year of age up to 84 years, along with an aggregated population estimate for ages 85 years and older. From 1981 onwards, population estimates are presented for each year of age up to 89 years along with and an aggregated estimate for ages 90 years and older. Therefore, these data are presented in separate resources.
