Note: Figures exclude residents of communal establishments such as care homes, NHS facilities, hostels or caravan parks. The figures are drawn from a statistical survey which may undercount certain groups such as young people, newly arrived migrants or members of different vulnerable groups. Figures are by country of birth, not nationality and EU figures include the Irish born, so will not match the data produced on this question in the Migration Observatory's April 2018 report 'Unsettled Status'.
