Mid 2024 Population Estimates

Published
The Mid 2024 Population Estimates at County and District Level are now available in the Population Section. In addition we have published a report and a series of infographics summarising the key findings.

The Office for National Statistics have published Mid-2024 population estimates at County and District level. 

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) estimates that at mid-year 2024 the  population of Gloucestershire was 669,380. This is an increase  of 1.16% between mid-2023 and mid-2024, which is higher than the South West  population growth of 1.02% and in line with the overall England and Wales population growth of 1.16%. 

Gloucester continues to have the largest population with 138,598 people and Forest of Dean the smallest with 89,753. Between mid-2023-24, Tewkesbury had the highest population growth at 2.41% followed by Gloucester with an increase  of 1.68%. All districts saw growth in their population sizes. 

The data, a summary report and series of infographics can be found in the population section.

Please not the Mid-2024 and Mid-2023 estimates for small areas (including wards, MSOA's, LSOA's, COA's) are not expected to be released until autumn 2025. In addition the Mid-2022 estimates at County and District level have been revised, so may differ from those published previously.
