Population

Locality and settlement population 2020

National Records of Scotland publishes populations for all the localities and settlements in Scotland every two years.

The latest are the 2020 populations for the towns and villages in North Lanarkshire.

Please note - the total in these columns will not add up to the North Lanarkshire population total, as it does not count the rural population.
