Census 2021
Every ten years the Office for National Statistics (ONS) carries out a Census to find out more about the people who live in England and Wales, and about the make-up of local neighbourhoods. The most recent Census took place on Sunday 21 March 2021. The first statistics were released by the Office for National Statistics on 28th June 2022 (available below) with more due to be released in the Autumn.

Note: The 2021 Census population estimate for Cheshire West and Chester is 357,200. This is higher than the Office for National statistics had previously estimated the population (343,800 mid-2020 estimate). Some products on this website including Population Forecasts were produced before the Census results were published. Population in all these products should be used with caution as the 2021 Census provides the most accurate estimate of the population. These products will be updated with the latest census based population estimates over the coming months. 2021 Census population estimates are available below:
