How this ranking is made

Net international migration, people: the net figure the ONS publishes for the area, unchanged.. Long-term international migration into and out of each local authority in the year from one mid-year to the next, from sheet MYE3 of the ONS mid-year population estimates. Each figure is the ONS's own column: nothing is netted or summed here.

Source: ONS: Components of population change by local authority (ONS mid-year estimates, sheet MYE3) · Population estimates for England and Wales, mid-2025, released 2026-07-29. Boundaries: 2025-05 BGC v2 LAD_MAY_2025_UK_BGC_V2. Percentiles are calculated across the whole UK, so they do not change when the table is filtered to one nation. A ranking compares areas of very different sizes and populations; the figure is the publisher’s own, and its rank is Civometry’s ordering of those published figures.

Birmingham has the highest net international migration, people of 318 UK local authorities with a published figure, at +9,703 (Latest published: Year to mid-2025). Source: ONS: Components of population change by local authority (ONS mid-year estimates, sheet MYE3).
