NOTES

The United Kingdom Population (Live) counter shows a continuously updated
estimate of the current population of the United Kingdom delivered by
Worldometer's RTS algorithm, which processes data collected from the United
Nations Population Division.

The Population of the United Kingdom (1950 - 2019) chart plots the total
population count as of July 1 of each year, from 1950 to 2019.

The Yearly Population Growth Rate chart plots the annual percentage changes in
population registered on July 1 of each year, from 1951 to 2019. This value can
differ from the Yearly % Change shown in the historical table, which shows the
last year equivalent percentage change assuming homogeneous change in the
preceding five year period.




DEFINITIONS

Year: as of July 1 of the year indicated.

Population: Overall total population (both sexes and all ages) in the country as
of July 1 of the year indicated, as estimated by the United Nations, Department
of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division. World Population Prospects:
The 2019 Revision. For forecasted years, the U.N. medium-fertility variant is
used.

Read More Definitions...



Yearly % Change: For 2019: percentage change in total population over the last
year (from July 1, 2018 to June 30 2019). For all other years: latest year
annual percentage change equivalent assuming homogeneous change in the preceding
five year period, calculated through reverse compounding.

Yearly Change: For 2019: absolute change in total population (increase or
decrease in number of people) over the last year (from July 1, 2018 to June 30
2019). For all other years: average annual numerical change over the preceding
five year period.

Migrants (net): The average annual number of immigrants minus the number of
emigrants over the preceding five year period (running from July 1 to June 30 of
the initial and final years), or subsequent five year period (for 2016 data). A
negative number means that there are more emigrants than immigrants.

Median Age: age that divides the population into two numerically equal groups:
half of the people are older than the median age indicated and half are younger.
This parameter provides an indication of age distribution.

Fertility Rate: (Total Fertility Rate, or TFR), it is expressed as children per
woman. It is calculated as the average number of children an average woman will
have during her reproductive period (15 to 49 years old) based on the current
fertility rates of every age group in the country, and assuming she is not
subject to mortality.

Density (P/Km²): (Population Density) Population per square Kilometer (Km²).

Urban Pop % : Urban population as a percentage of total population.

Urban Population: Population living in areas classified as urban according to
the criteria used by each country.

Country's Share of World Pop: Total population in the country as a percentage of
total World Population as of July 1 of the year indicated.

World Population: Total World Population as of July 1 of the year indicated.

Global Rank: Position held by the U.K. in the list of all countries worldwide
ranked by population (from the highest population to the lowest population) as
of July 1 of the year indicated.
