The Migration Observatory Local Data Guide

This guide has been developed to help people to answer key questions about migrants in local areas around the UK: How many migrants are there in different local areas? How is this changing over time? What do we know about the integration of migrants at the local level?

There are many sources of migration data at the local level. This guide brings together some of the most useful of them and presents the information in a user-friendly way, including interactive visualisations of the data. The guide explains when and how to use different local data sources, what information is available and what is not, and the limitations of and gaps in the current data. Users can download the data in in .csv or .xls files, as well as download the charts as images to use in presentations or share in other ways.
