It is estimated that, in the period 2020-21, 14% of Glasgow’s population were born outside the UK, compared to 6% or less in the other local authorities in the Glasgow City Region. The percentage of Glasgow's residents who were not born in the UK has risen steadily since the early 2000s but reduced in the last year. 

In Scotland people from the EU make up roughly half of non-UK nationals and Poles make up the largest grouping of non-UK nationals.

Notes

The figures presented are estimates based on survey data and exclude certain population groups (students in halls who do not have a UK resident parent and people in most other types of communal establishments e.g. hotels, boarding houses, hostels and mobile home sites).

These estimates are more recent than the Census based trends shown elsewhere on this site.

The data used in these charts were originally published by National Records of Scotland.
