There were fewer non-UK short-term residents in Carlisle in 2021 than there were a decade prior, new census figures show.

The Office for National Statistics said non-UK-born short-term residents represent a small group of census 2021 respondents. But it added they are an important group who contribute to the labour market and student population in England and Wales.

The ONS defines a short-term resident as anyone who was born outside the UK, arrived within a year before census day and intended to stay for a period of less than 12 months.

People who stayed or intended to stay for less than three months were not asked to take the survey.

In Carlisle there were 95 non-UK short-term residents when the census took place in March 2021 – down from 129 in 2011.

The 2021 figure is rounded to the nearest five.
