NI's Population Continues To Grow
The Statistics and Research Agency has said Northern Ireland's 2012 mid-year population is estimated to be 1.824m people.
Between July 2011 and June 2012, the number of people living in NI increased by 9,300 (0.5%).
The Agency has said the increase was a result of:
In contrast, the numbers of births and deaths have remained relatively stable over the last five years, even as the older population (aged 65 and over) currently accounts for 15% of the population.
Responding to the findings, Dr David Marshall from NISRA said: "The population continues to rise, standing at 1.824million in June 2012, with more births than deaths being the cause of population growth.
"Migration into Northern Ireland is down by 24% from the 2005 to 2008 peak – last year just over 23,000 people came here to live. Over the same time period the number of people leaving Northern Ireland to live elsewhere has risen by 14% to nearly 25,000 people in 2011-12."

Between July 2011 and June 2012, the number of people living in NI increased by 9,300 (0.5%).
The Agency has said the increase was a result of:
- natural growth of 11,100 people (25,300 births less 14,200 deaths)
- an estimated net loss of 1,300 people due to migration (23,300 people came to NI to live and 24,600 people left)
- a net loss of 500 people due to changes in Her Majesty's Forces

Migrants 'Expand' NI Population
Inbound migrants added 5,700 residents to the Northern Ireland population. However, this is significantly lower than the 9,000 residents added through migration in both 2005-6 and 2006-7 with this recent fall thought to be related to less people coming to live in Northern Ireland from countries outside the UK.
