Jersey Population

Jersey, the largest of the Channel Islands, has experienced moderate population growth over recent decades. As of 2023, the island’s population is estimated to be around 103,000 people. Historically, Jersey’s population grew steadily throughout the 20th century, driven by economic prosperity, particularly in finance and tourism, and by immigration from the UK, Portugal, and other countries. However, in recent years, growth has slowed due to factors such as an aging population, limited housing availability, and stricter immigration controls. The government closely monitors population trends to balance economic needs with the island’s limited resources and infrastructure, aiming for sustainable growth that preserves Jersey’s unique character and environment.
