Census 2021 population statistics produced by the Office for National Statistics for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough as a whole can be found below. These population figures are obtained from Census data which is gathered every 10 years, with the latest data below based on the most recent Census of 2021.

Both the Reports and the Maps are interactive so we would encourage you to have a play.
