Census 2021: First results show Rother’s population has grown over past decade

The first results of the 2021 census are in – and they show Rother has seen its population rise over the last decade.

The census takes place every 10 years, with every household in the UK required to take part.

The latest snapshot of England and Wales was captured on March 21 2021.

Now the first results have been released – and there’s been a rise in the number of people living in Rother.

On census day, 93,100 people were living in the area – up 3% from 90,588 in 2011, when the last census was carried out.

This also means the population density has grown to 183 usual residents per square kilometre, up from 178 in 2011.
