Downloads

You can download the projections for each local authority area using the links below. Each local authority has two files available for download: a detailed breakdown of the total number of people broken down by sex and single year of age, and a summary document, which summarises the total population, number of births, deaths, and net migration.

In addition, a national summary document, with the total number of people projected to live in each sub-council area for all local authorities is available.

You can download a caveat booklet, which describes some issues to note when using these projections.

You can also download a reference table showing all sub-council areas names used, and their relation to Scottish Neighbourhood Statistics data zones.

Details on the background to this project, as well as a detailed methodology note are also available.
