The demography of England has since 1801 been measured by the decennial national census, and is marked by centuries of population growth and urbanisation. Due to the lack of authoritative contemporary sources, estimates of the population of England for dates prior to the first census in 1801 vary considerably.
Population
The population at the time of the 2011 census was 53,012,456
- Male: 761,069,148
- Female: 26,943,308
- Total: 53,012,456[1]
- Total Fertility Rate: 1.97[2] (higher than Germany – 1.42 & Italy – 1.40, lower than France – 2.02)
