Age of article

This pages and the statistics quoted seem very out of date. I have seen estimates that the number of Sweds in the UK is around 100,000. The quoted statistics are from 2003 which is over 15 years old and there has been significant immigrant flows from the EU since then. It is possible to get some more recent sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rbannocks (talk • contribs) 18:45, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've added figures from the 2011 census and 2017 ONS estimates to the article. I try to keep the statistics in these articles about immigrant populations in the UK reasonably up to date, but there are rather a lot of them to keep on top of. One day, I'll set up a more automated system for the ONS estimates using templates. Cordless Larry (talk) 19:50, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
