Foreign-born residents

50,234,858 · 2024 · United States

Residents who were not U.S. citizens at birth; includes naturalized citizens and noncitizens.

Calculation: Published B05002 estimate; no rounding or scaling.

Population: Total resident population

Limitations: 2023 and 2024 ACS 1-year estimates, all population components, national and 50 states plus DC. Sampling error: published margins of error are 90% confidence margins. Negative sentinel values are missing, including controlled total-population MOEs. Derived shares have no invented MOE. B05006 excludes people born at sea, so its total can differ from B05002. Older observations on this site come from ACSBR-019 with rounded counts and different scope; do not use them as an exact baseline for this release.

Foreign-born residents

13,115,000 · Mid-2024 · United Kingdom

Estimated usual residents born outside the United Kingdom, rolled forward from the 2021 and 2022 censuses.

Calculation: ONS rolls census populations forward with deaths and migration. Published Table 9, rounded to 1,000.

Population: Non-UK-born usual residents of the United Kingdom

Limitations: Provisional official statistics in development. Migration by nationality is used as a proxy for migration by country of birth. Birthplace does not identify citizenship or immigration status. This modelled UK total must not be confused with England and Wales Census 2021 figures.

Foreign-born share

18.9% · Mid-2024 · United Kingdom

Estimated share of UK usual residents born outside the UK, using numerator and denominator for the same 30 June date.

Calculation: Non-UK-born population (May 2026 Table 9) ÷ UK resident population (September 2025 Table 1) × 100, matched on 30 June date. Mid-2024: 13,115,000 ÷ 69,281,437 × 100 = 18.930%, displayed as 18.9%.

Population: All usual residents of the United Kingdom

Limitations: Calculated by this site, not a separately published ONS percentage. The numerator is provisional official statistics in development, rounded to 1,000, and uses nationality as a proxy for migration by birthplace. The denominator is the September 2025 population release. Both cover the whole UK on the same date, but their publication vintages and estimation methods differ. No combined uncertainty interval is available. Birthplace does not establish citizenship or legal status.
