Jersey in numbers

103,674 people lived in Jersey in mid-2023: less than 0.01% of the world's people, and the 199th-largest population of the 236 countries and areas the UN reports. That is 1.8 times its 1950 population of 57,110.

The UN's medium projection has it peaking in 2043 at 105 thousand, then falling to 99,810 by 2100. The projection is uncertain: on 1 January 2100 the UN's 95% range runs from 29,496 to 197 thousand.

Since 2017, more people have died here each year than have been born, and the UN's projection has that holding every year to 2100. Deaths also outnumbered births in 1972–1982. The population still grows until 2043, because more people arrive than leave.

The median age was 36.3 in 1950 and 44.1 in 2023; the projection has 48.4 in 2100. 18.7% of people were 65 or older in 2023, against 30.4% projected for 2100. The working-age population (15–64) peaked in 2023 at 69,272; in 2023 it was 69,272.

Among countries it ranks 199th in 2023, 198th in 2050 and 198th in 2100. In the medium projection it overtakes Tonga in 2025, Aruba in 2040 and Grenada in 2070. It is overtaken by the Cayman Islands in 2051.

Jersey, every age in every year

Each column is a year and each row an age; the denser the ink in a cell, the more people. Everyone born in the same year climbs one 45° diagonal, so famines, baby booms and migration show up as streaks. Select a cell to follow its generation.

JEY · ages 15–64

Who does the work in Jersey

Jersey had the most working-age people it is ever expected to have in 2023: 69,278 people aged 15–64, against 69,278 in 2023.

100 aged 15–64

22 children

aged 15–64 children under 15 aged 65 and over

How to read this: take 100 people of working age — the orange row — and the two rows under it are the children (teal) and the people of 65 and over (violet) who lived alongside them in 2023.

Fewer than 50 dependants live alongside every 100 people aged 15–64 in 64 years: 1950–1963 and 1975–2024.

fewer than 50 dependants per 100 the same, projected 50 or more

How to read this: 1950 on the left, 2100 on the right; coloured in the years with fewer than 50 dependants per 100 working-age people, grey in the rest, hatched where that is a projection.

How every country compares

JEY · arrivals minus departures

Who arrives in Jersey, and who leaves

In 2020–2025 Jersey gains 477 people a year: everyone who arrives, minus everyone who leaves. The age at which that happens most is 20–24, at 101 a year more arriving than leaving.

one square = 10 people a year

020406080+

more arrive than leave more leave than arrive

How to read this: age runs left to right, babies to 100. A blue square above the line means arrivals outnumber departures at that age, an orange square below it means the opposite. The figures are the UN's projection for 2020–2025; nobody recorded migration by age before 2020.

In the years that were counted, 1950–2023, the most it gained in one year was 1,136 (1972) and the most it lost was 149 (1995).

Displacement in Jersey

UNHCR publishes no refugees, asylum-seekers or displaced people in or from Jersey at the end of 2025.

An empty row is not the same as a zero. These figures cover the people one agency works with, so a country it has no operation in has nothing to report here.
