Population Estimates Time Series Data

Last Updated: 27 April 2017

This page contains datasets in Excel format. This data will be particularly useful for users who would like the same data for a series of different years rather than just for one year.

Note 1: Tables are mainly offered for the purposes of extracting figures. Due to the size of some of the files they are not recommended for printing.

Note 2: If you experience difficulty downloading the files, please contact our Statistics Customer Services to request a disk with the full file.

Note 3: National Records of Scotland no longer publishes NHS Board area estimates for pre-April 2006 and pre-April 2014 boundaries.
