Demography of England

Demography of England
The non-metropolitan counties and unitary authorities of England, colour-coded to show population. The City of London is not included.

The demography of England has since 1801 been measured by the decennial national census, and is marked by centuries of population growth and urbanisation. Due to the lack of authoritative contemporary sources, estimates of the population of England for dates prior to the first census in 1801 vary considerably.
