Northern England (UK) population as share of total from 1821 to 2013
This statistic shows the development of the North's population in relation to the total population of England (UK) between 1801 and 2013. While there was a steady increase in population in the North over the first assessed century, finally peaking at over ** percent in 1911, a continuous decrease began after WWI. The decreasing trend continued up until the most recent figure - the same proportion as in 1821.
