National and subnational mid-year population estimates for the UK and its constituent countries by administrative area, age and sex (including components of population change, median age and population density).

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the population of Scotland by gender, including both male and female populations. This dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of Scotland across both sexes and to determine which sex constitutes the majority.

Key observations

There is a considerable majority of male population, with 65.22% of total population being male. Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates.

Content

When available, the data consists of estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates.

Scope of gender :

Please note that American Community Survey asks a question about the respondents current sex, but not about gender, sexual orientation, or sex at birth. The question is intended to capture data for biological sex, not gender. Respondents are supposed to respond with the answer as either of Male or Female. Our research and this dataset mirrors the data reported as Male and Female for gender distribution analysis. No further analysis is done on the data reported from the Census Bureau.

Variables / Data Columns

• Gender: This column displays the Gender (Male / Female)
• Population: The population of the gender in the Scotland is shown in this column.
• % of Total Population: This column displays the percentage distribution of each gender as a proportion of Scotland total population. Please note that the sum of all percentages may not equal one due to rounding of values.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the population of Scotland by gender across 18 age groups. It lists the male and female population in each age group along with the gender ratio for Scotland. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of Scotland by gender and age. For example, using this dataset, we can identify the largest age group for both Men and Women in Scotland. Additionally, it can be used to see how the gender ratio changes from birth to senior most age group and male to female ratio across each age group for Scotland.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Scotland population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Scotland across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

Key observations

In 2023, the population of Scotland was 784, a 0.51% decrease year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Scotland population was 788, an increase of 0.51% compared to a population of 784 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Scotland decreased by 108. In this period, the peak population was 892 in the year 2000. The numbers suggest that the population has already reached its peak and is showing a trend of decline. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).

Settlements of Scotland are built-up areas which round to 500 people or more. Statistics produced from this geography can be used to help understand the demographics of local communities. National Records of Scotland (NRS), produces 2 datasets which are designed to show the boundaries of urban areas in Scotland: these datasets are Settlements and Localities. Further details on settlements and localities, including the methodology, can be found in the Special Area Population Estimates: Settlements and Localities section of the NRS website.

This dataset portrays the boundaries of ‘Localities’ in Scotland as at the 1991 Census.. There is widespread interest in statistics for the built-up areas in Scotland as most of the population lives in a built-up environment. When the former two-tier local government structure of regions and districts came into being in May 1975, the small local authorities known as large and small burghs were lost. However, Census users stated that there was a need to know the population (and characteristics) of built-up areas. For 1991 Localities, information on the area of a postcode was available from the digitised postcode boundaries and also on the postcode’s population from the 1991 Census. The method used to identify localities in 1991 was basically to classify a postcode as either urban or rural based on population density. Groups of urban (high population density) postcodes were identified where the number of residents in all the postcodes in the group was 500 or more. The final stage was to ask the local authorities to suggest any changes which might refine the boundaries of the identified settlements. This method identified 603 localities, 448 of which contained 1,000 residents or more, with the remainder containing a population of 500 or more but less that 1000.
