Luxembourg
 

Overview
It may be one of the smallest nations in the world but Luxembourg is no less likely to produce migrants than any other.

With a population of just under half a million, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has seen just 1,200 of those born within its landlocked borders head for Britain.

So small is the number of Luxembourg-born people recorded in the 2001 Census, they represent about one in every 47,000 people in the total population.

Geographically, they are predominantly in London with a handful of other clusters (none numbering more than 50 people) around universities.

Map on right shows country as if areas with roughly equal populations were the same size. So, densely populated London takes up much more space than sparsely populated Scottish Highlands.

At-a-glance
1,236 people born in Luxembourg were living in Britain at the time of the 2001 Census, up about 77% on 1991.
0.002% of the population of Britain is Luxembourg-born � one of the smallest national groupings counted.
