What this measures
The estimated number of people who moved to the UK minus the number who left, each intending a stay or absence of at least 12 months, over a 12-month period, split into the three nationality groups ONS publishes in Table 1 - British, EU+ (EU countries plus EFTA and associated microstates), and non-EU+.
Individual nationalities (ONS publishes only the three groups in this table), country of birth, or where in the UK people settled.
